Trip Notes

How We Travel
Out Adventures is all about good times with likeminded guys. Whatever’s on the itinerary – from fireside camping to five-star decadence – our goal is to make the experience magical. We’re also committed to supporting the communities we visit by hiring local guides, staying at locally-owned accommodations when possible, and celebrating local cuisine. It all adds up to a great way to immerse yourself in the culture.

Mexico Visa
A visa is not typically required for American, Australian, British and Canadian citizens travelling to Mexico for fewer than 180 days. There may be exceptions, and all visas are the responsibility of the traveller.

Culture Shock
Mexico is an upper-middle-income country with infrastructure, values, customs and standards that may differ from what you’re accustomed to. While the country has come a very long way you should still expect heavy traffic, along with unanticipated inconveniences such as road closures from time-to-time. Please note our transportation may be altered, and/or our itinerary changed, due to such circumstances beyond our control.

Local LGBT Scene
Even though Mexico is a predominantly Catholic country, it has been one of the pioneers for LGBT rights and freedoms in Latin America. Marriage equality became legal in Mexico City in 2009, and in 2010, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriages carried out legally in Mexico City must be recognized throughout the country. Vibrant gay scenes and acceptance can be found throughout the country, and especially in Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta.

Weather
Expect the weather in Mexico City to be fairly consistent, with daytime highs around 25C/77F, and evening lows around 7C/45F. The warmest weather is from March to June.

Required Vaccinations
Based on entry requirements, there are no vaccinations needed for Mexico. To determine if you should take preventative measures to reduce the risk of illness, you should consult your doctor or a travel medical clinic, as we cannot provide vaccination recommendations.

Electricity
You will not need an international travel plug/adapter if travelling from Canada or the US.

Connectivity
Wi-Fi will be available at no cost at our hotels in Mexico City and Puebla.

Travel Insurance
For everybody's peace of mind, medical travel insurance is required on all Out Adventures tours. At a minimum, your travel insurance must provide cover against personal accident, death, medical expenses, emergency repatriation and personal liability, with a minimum medical coverage of US $200,000.

Meals
To keep things flexible, not all meals are included in the trip price. Although we typically dine together so that everybody can get a taste of everything, feel free to explore on your own…your guide will always have some restaurant recommendations.

Starting/Finishing Point
Galeria Plaza Reforma Hotel, Mexico City
Located in Zona Rosa one block from Paseo de la Reforma's office buildings. This distinguished 434 room hotel is surrounded by the capital city’s financial and commercial district where one can find exclusive restaurants, shops and boutiques.

Award-winning service has positioned Galeria Plaza as a modern yet comfortable 5-star hotel considered a leader among Mexico City’s numerous lodging alternatives.

If you would like a guaranteed early check-in, you will need to reserve a pre-tour night of accommodation. If you are checking in to the hotel under your Out Adventures reservation, a complimentary arrival transfer will be included.

Tipping
Gratuities for hotel porters and food at included meals are covered in the trip price. However, a tip to your Group Leader, housekeeping, and gratuities for optional meals and drinks at included dinners, optional activities, locally day/city guides and drivers are not.

Money
The local currency is the Mexican peso. Credit cards are accepted at hotels and upscale restaurants, but not for gratuities. We recommend carrying approximately $300 USD to be used only in the case of an emergency, or if your credit/ATM cards are placed on hold.
