Here is our guide to 3 great destinations in Mexico to de-stress during your next business trip.

Exercise

Constant movement is one of the best ways to improve your health. You can lose weight, enjoy a healthier lifestyle and enjoy walking, which is a great activity for reducing stress levels. Taking a stroll through a colorful city center or around a lake will instantly improve your state of mind.

Chiapas is an incredible region with plenty of off-the-beaten track sites just waiting to be discovered. Start your trip in Tuxtla Gutierrez at the City Express hotel and then set off on a unique journey through the countryside and the jungle. Enjoy the hilly streets of San Cristobal de las Casas, climb ancient Maya ruins at Bonampak, Yaxchilan and Palenque, hike around the lakes of Montebello, swim in the waterfalls of Agua Azul and Misol-Ha, the list is endless.

De-stress

Avoiding stress will improve your mental health almost instantly. While there can be some stress involved in traveling, you can use an itinerary or a travel company to help reduce this.

One of the best environments to be in to de-stress is by the sea. We recommend the beautiful Caribbean Sea where you can enjoy white sandy beaches and glorious turquoise waters. A few relaxing days after a business trip will help you to deal with any stressful situations and unwind. Stay at the City Express Suites Playa del Carmen, a short distance from the center of this bustling beach town and close to the stunning beach.

Socialising

Traveling alone for a business trip can be tiring and mentally challenging. To improve your mental health, reduce stress and induce a good mood, make sure to socialize with others. You will have no choice but to make conversation, share experiences and perhaps step out of your comfort zone.

The capital city of Yucatan is the perfect city for socializing and meeting new people. With one of the three City Express hotels to choose from, you can spend some time in Merida’s charming colonial center where there are many wonderful restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, watch an outdoor performance of local music or, meet locals and fellow travelers in one of the many trendy bars or cantinas and embark on a group daytrip to a nearby site such as Uxmal, Celestun or even Chichen Itza.
