Grutas Tolantongo, a famous hot spring resort:
This is one of the most amazing hidden gems in Mexico. It is located in the north of Mexico City. This is a hot springs resort and also a photographer's paradise. It is just a 5-hour journey from Mexico City. The hot pools are tucked away between the lush trees, along with the turquoise river running across the park and some really mysterious caves.
Hierve El Agua, famous for photography:
It is a popular destination in Mexico. This region is famous for its petrified waterfall, mineral formations, alongside cliff-side infinity pools. Hierve El Agua is located on top of a mountain, which will provide you with some beautiful pictures of your lifetime. You will also get some breathtaking views of a distant mountain and the valley. This is one of the best places for photography. You can reach there by a 90-minute journey from Oaxaca. Sunset is the best time for photography here.
Suytun Cenote, a famous peaceful location:
The Yucatan region of Mexico has more than 6000 cenotes. You will be confused about choosing the best Cenote to visit. There are some amazing places. One such Cenote is the Suytun Cenote. The walkway leading down the center of the cenote makes it the most attractive one. This is located completely underground. The only light that comes into the cenote is from the opening in the ceiling region. If you are lucky enough, you may observe an alien-like light beam created from the light shining down towards the walkway.
Surrealist Garden Las Pozas, the brainchild of Edward James:
This is one of the best, unique, and secret places to visit in Mexico. It is located in the La Huasteca Potosina region. British poet Edward James built this surrealist garden. He intended to create an Eden-like place with a touch of surrealistic architecture. The entire place is filled with elaborate, decorative buildings. You will be surprised to know that doors open nowhere. The stairs take you into the sky as well as lush waterfalls. You will acknowledge the vision of Edward James for recreating the paradise-like structure. Initially, it was not open for public photography. But, recently, Las Pozas garden was open to the public as well as photography.
Bacalar, a peaceful lagoon:
If you love water, this Lagoon is the best option. It is unique in many ways. The blueness of the water is the most attractive aspect. However, the journey time is very long from Cancun. It will take around 5 hours from there. Most lakeside hotels have a proper setup of swings and hammocks in the water for relaxation and photography purposes.
So, these sites should be on your list if you are planning to explore Mexico.
