About Mexico Starter

Who we are and how we research and verify our Mexico travel guides and calculators.

What this site is

MexicoStarter is an independent, start-here travel guide for visitors to Mexico, written with first-time, cultural, and rail/bus-focused travellers in mind. We publish destination guides, practical how-tos, sample itineraries, a 2,483-municipality and Pueblo Mágico directory, and 15 free interactive planning tools in Mexican Pesos ($ MXN). The site is free to use and is supported by display advertising.

How we research

  • We base practical information on primary Mexican sources — SECTUR (Secretaría de Turismo / VisitMexico), INAH (Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia), INM (Instituto Nacional de Migración), Tren Maya, SEMOVI CDMX (Movilidad Integrada), ADO Mobility, CONANP (Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas), and the INEGI / GeoNames registry — and link directly to official portals so you can verify details yourself.
  • Prices in Mexican Pesos ($ MXN) are approximate and updated regularly; always confirm final fares and entry fees at checkout.
  • We do not publish paid reviews or invented testimonials.

Independence

We are not affiliated with SECTUR, INAH, Tren Maya, ADO, or any Mexican government body. Display advertising does not influence our editorial recommendations.
