Mexico's masses of coastline makes for endless opportunity to get into the water.

The best way to explore Mexico's most spectacular landscape is on foot — preferably with plenty of water, a compass and a local guide just in case.

Copper Canyon in the north and Baja California's Sierra San Pedro Mártir are popular trekking spots with well-marked trails and plenty of challenge for hardcore hikers.

Mexican wrestling or 'lucha libre' may turn out to be an unexpected highlight of your trip to Mexico — not in terms of participation (unless you're feeling particularly limber and happen to have packed your spandex pants and mask) but rather by joining the millions of Mexicans who revel in this most entertaining of spectator sports.
