Whether you do it for the \u2018gram, to show friends and fam, or just for yourself, it\u2019s almost irresistible to not whip out a camera and snap away while travelling. It\u2019s like you can\u2019t believe what you\u2019re seeing with your own eyes, so you must<\/em> capture it to confirm the amazingly epic thing that you saw\/tasted\/touched for years to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Personally, I\u2019m a colour lover: big, bold, bright colours stop me in my tracks wherever I go. It doesn\u2019t matter what it is: I want pictures of it, next to it, with it, straight on and from a side angle. Colour instantly fills me with joy. And coming from London, a city known as \u2018The Big Smoke\u2019, I find myself desperately searching for colour-filled cracks and corners amidst all that grey.<\/p>\n

\"Newsletter\"Newsletter<\/a>But not in Mexico<\/a>. Meant in the absolute best way, Mexico assaults you with colour; it\u2019s as if grey and beige have been banned. So if you\u2019re also a colour lover, Mexico should definitely be on your must-see list. Don\u2019t just take my word for it though: here are the photos to prove it (all taken on Intrepid\u2019s epic 15-day Best of Mexico adventure<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Brightly\"Brightly<\/p>\n

\"A\"A\"A\"AEasy first choice because 1) I love food and 2) Mexican food is considered to be one of the best cuisines in the world. Adaptable to most dietary requirements, everything is full of flavour and, crucially, REALLY COLOURFUL. I tried to maintain a pesceterian\/veggie diet, and got to eat everything from shrimp tacos to zucchini flower-covered pizzas\u2026 even cactus! Thanks to the private cooking class our Intrepid guide Valentina arranged for us, we were also introduced to diced mango on top of guacamole. Try it, then let me know how your life has changed for the better.<\/p>\n

Markets<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"A\"A\"\"\"\"The only times we went into shops during our trip were to get sim cards (how do we Instagram without data?), drinks and snacks. If you don\u2019t do the majority of your shopping in markets, you\u2019re doing Mexico wrong. The streets are lined with stalls, and you can find everything from vibrant trinkets to vivid edible treats.<\/p>\n

\"Four\"FourWhen in Rome! Or rather, slap-bang in the centre of Mexico City. On your way to Arena M\u00e9xico to enjoy a few rounds of sweaty dudes in Lycra grappling with each other, don\u2019t forget to grab yourself a multicoloured mask from one of the stalls outside. Then strike a pose in your newly purchased m\u00e1scara<\/em>, as demonstrated above.<\/p>\n

Cacti<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Three\"Three<\/strong>\"A\"APut a group of millennials in a country that has the most cacti in the world (669 species at last count, according to Mexico\u2019s Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources) and what do you expect? We even ate the stuff.<\/p>\n

One of the best parts of the trip was undoubtedly our visit to the Ethnobotanical Garden in Oaxaca (Jard\u00edn Etnobot\u00e1nico de Oaxaca<\/em>). Fresh from Mexico City\u2019s hustle and bustle, it was lovely to unwind with a leisurely stroll amid prickly friends.<\/p>\n

Buildings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"A\"A\"A\"AFrom teal to topaz, ruby reds, fluorescent fuchsias and everything in between, I\u2019d never found myself particularly fascinated with buildings, but it\u2019s hard not to be in Mexico.<\/p>\n

A particularly photogenic must-visit is Izamal, a golden town on the Yucatan Peninsula. There\u2019s nary a building in sight that\u2019s not painted in a shade of yellow. Be prepared to have Walking On Sunshine<\/em> stuck in your head while snapping away at the citrusy spectacle.<\/p>\n

Cenotes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The crystal blues and gorgeous greens of cenotes certainly make for perfect Instagram snaps\u2026but also tourist traps. A cenote is essentially a waterhole in the middle of a cave and, although there are literally thousands of them on Mexico\u2019s Yucatan peninsula, you can sometimes find yourself fighting for space. However, thanks to our wonderful local leader Val, we got to avoid all of that as she took us to some lesser-known but equally stunning ones. We had the otherworldly waterholes all to ourselves and got to relish in their eerie splendour.<\/p>\n
