Mexico welcomes tens of millions of tourists a year. For the roughly 20.8 million Mexicans who live with some form of disability — about 16% of the population, according to the 2020 national census — the country has been considerably harder to navigate. That is starting to change, driven by a mix of private operators, municipal initiatives, and a push at the federal level that advocates say is long overdue. The picture on the ground is uneven.

Aman, the Swiss-founded hospitality group behind some of the most exclusive hotels on the planet, is about to open its first property in Mexico this spring. Amanvari is an adults-only, 18-casita resort on the East Cape of Baja California Sur, about 45 minutes south of Los Cabos International Airport. The name combines the Sanskrit words for “peace” and “water,” and the property will occupy a stretch of coastline where desert, estuary, and the Sea of Cortez converge. With nightly rates expected to start around $3,000, it’s likely to become one of the most talked-about hotel openings of 2026. For the…
The Museo Textil de los Pueblos Indígenas y Afromexicanos, or MUT in Mexico City, opened its doors with the mission: to celebrate and preserve the rich, living heritage of the nation’s indigenous and Afro-Mexican textile arts. The MUT was designed as a dynamic space that places the knowledge and traditions of these communities at the very center of the national conversation about identity, art, and history. Visitors will find the museum in the Casa del Marqués del Apartado, a magnificent neoclassical palace built between 1795 and 1805 by the renowned…
For a long time, travelers at the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) have faced a problem. They could use ride-sharing apps like Uber, DiDi, or InDrive to get to the airport, but not to leave. This was because government and airline rules allowed only authorized airport taxis to pick up passengers. That situation is changing.

This is part of a solution to end conflicts between app drivers, airport taxis, and the authorities. How Will…

For generations of Americans, the mental image was fixed: a rowdy border town of cheap drinks, questionable nightlife, and little else. That picture was always incomplete. Today, it’s also increasingly outdated, though the full truth about Tijuana is more nuanced than either the old reputation or the new boosterism suggests. Start with the history. Tijuana found its footing during Prohibition, when Americans flooded south looking for legal liquor and jazz. It was a…
The long-awaited suburban train connecting Mexico City to the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) officially opened on Sunday, April 26, 2026, after multiple delays spanning over three years. President Claudia Sheinbaum inaugurated the new 41-kilometer extension from the Lechería station to the AIFA terminal, completing a journey from Buenavista station in downtown Mexico City in approximately one hour. Authorities expect travel time to reduce to 45 minutes once the system is fully adapted. “Today we can say: mission accomplished. We have kept our promise to the people of Mexico,” Sheinbaum…
