Traveling by Birds eye view or at eye level.

There is no doubt that flying to a destination is fast, and sometimes so affordable that you would not think of going somewhere by car or bus. However, have you ever thought about how much you are missing?  Think of all the site seeing or not that you have missed out on all your travel. I for one have seen a few cities around the world, and well of course I would not be able to get there without a plane, but once I am there, even if it takes half a day of travel on land, I will do it!  There is so much to see!!

Mexico is no different. There is a lot that is missed out when you travel to destination and then circle around the village or city.  Maybe jumping on a  bus and checking out the next small city or village is just the right thing to do. Now I would not recommend to just go to places randomly, do your research before going and ask your hotel for recommendations.  

However, unlike other less developed countries, Mexico has an excellent bus system and buses!  Depending on which ones you travel you have several first class options for bus lines.  They are equipped with air conditioning and tv's for those that want to veg out, but of course you would miss out on some site seeing.  In general seats are very comfy and have enough leg room, and typically recline more than airline seats.

Most of the big cities have central bus hubs that offer clean cafeterias, bathrooms, and selections to get from one city to the other.  So before you travel next to the destination in Mexico, take a map and see what other destinations you can squeeze into your travel by bus!
