Top 8 Countries to Visit this Winter

We recommend going away somewhere warm with a tropical breeze, palm trees, swimming pools, and a turquoise ocean during the cold, snowy winter. However, if you want to spend the Holiday skiing in New York or see the Northern Lights in Iceland or Alaska, it will also be a great experience. Below are the top 8 countries to visit this winter. 

1-Mexico-

Mexico makes for a perfect winter getaway location. The warm weather, beautiful beaches, and things to do in Mexico make it a great place to travel. You can go on a luxury relaxing vacation with unlimited drinks and food or an adventurous one to see places, including the cenotes in Cabo or waterfalls in Puerto Vallarta.

A. Cabo-

Did you know the infamous Cabo San Lucas is a resort city on the southern tip of Baja California Sur? The best things to do in Cabo are to watch the sunset, swim in cenotes, relax at the beaches, sail, snorkel, and go whale watching. You can even ride a camel in Cabo!

B. Cancun-

Cancun is the perfect spot to relax at an all-inclusive hotel. Chichen Itza is one of the seven wonders of the world. It is a 2-hour drive from Cancun if you are up for a road trip. You can do all of the underwater activities in Cancun!
