Carbon Neutral Trip
Mexico hums with colour, flavour and culture. Where smoky mezcal flows from generations-old distilleries and markets pulse with energy. Kayak quiet mangroves and unwind in design-forward haciendas that feel blissfully off the map. Hike and bike the Sierra Norte’s quiet foothills, wander Monte Albán’s ancient heights and embrace the warmth of the people—and the food. Vibrant, layered and full of soul, Mexico doesn’t follow a script. It dances to its own rhythm.
Hotels are a true standout, and we have access to the very best—from design-led boutiques to otherworldly properties. Whether it’s a private hacienda or a mezcal retreat, luxury here feels both curated and refreshingly unexpected.
Mexico surprises with rich cultural, historical and active experiences far from the tourist trail. Whether it’s hidden culinary gems or immersive experiences in places that feel genuinely undiscovered—with B&R, the path less travelled reveals the unforgettable.
With B&R, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to extraordinary experiences. Think visits to Mayan ruins before the crowds, private visits to a famed sculptor's home or a cave tour and ceremony led by a traditional shaman.

Good to know
Time of year
Mexico is a year-round destination, though April and May tend to get very hot. If you plan to travel over the winter and spring break or during Semana Santa (Easter), we recommend booking well in advance.
Biking & hiking
To avoid biking and walking during the hotter midday hours, we tend to schedule physical activities in the mornings and suggest an earlier start time.
Pre or post trip
If you have extra time, consider extending your trip and stay at one of our favourite beach hotels. Our trips focus on the country’s rich interior, but a fabulous beach is never far away.
