Current Travel Situation
Slovenia to Mexico: What You Need to Know
Mexico is the premier Americas long-haul destination for Slovenian travellers. The Yucatan Peninsula (Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum), Mexico City, Oaxaca, and the Pacific Coast draw visitors for ancient Mesoamerican civilisations, colonial cities, biodiversity (whale sharks in Cancun, monarch butterflies in Michoacan), and cuisine recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The Cenotes (sinkholes filled with crystal-clear groundwater) of the Yucatan are a uniquely Mexican natural experience.
How to Get There
Mexico City: Zocalo, the Anthropology Museum (featuring the Aztec Calendar Stone), Frida Kahlo Museum in Coyoacan, Teotihuacan pyramids (60 km north). Yucatan: Chichen Itza, the cenotes (Ik Kil, Dos Ojos, Gran Cenote near Tulum), Bacalar lagoon. Oaxaca: Monte Alban ruins, the Zocalo, mole negro and tlayudas, and mezcal distillery tours. Chiapas: Palenque ruins in the jungle, the Sumidero Canyon, and the indigenous village markets of San Cristobal de las Casas.
Money & Banking
Mexico uses the Mexican peso (MXN). As of 2025, EUR 1 is approximately MXN 20. A street taco costs MXN 20-40 (EUR 1-2); mid-range restaurant dinners run MXN 200-400 (EUR 10-20). ATMs dispensing pesos give better rates than exchange bureaux. Carry some cash for markets and rural areas.
Practical Tips
No direct flights from Ljubljana to Mexico. Common connections via Madrid (Iberia), Amsterdam (KLM via Atlanta or Houston), or Lisbon (TAP) to Mexico City (MEX) or Cancun (CUN). Journey time is 13-16 hours from Europe. Domestic carriers Aeromexico, Vivaaerobus, and Volaris connect cities affordably.

Use Uber rather than street taxis, avoid displaying expensive equipment, and research your specific neighbourhood.
What are cenotes?
Cenotes are natural sinkholes filled with crystal-clear fresh groundwater, formed by collapsed limestone in the Yucatan Peninsula. Approximately 6,000 exist. Popular ones include Ik Kil (near Chichen Itza), Gran Cenote and Dos Ojos (near Tulum). Swimming in cenotes is one of Mexico's most distinctive experiences.
