Carnival celebrations are always on the radar of partiers and fun-lovers, and it is for good reason, since they break the daily routine and allow a combination of conviviality and fun with family and friends.
Here we present the five most important carnivals that can be found throughout the Mexican territory, according to various publications, such as the one published by the prestigious Forbes Mexico magazine.
Mazatlan, Sinaloa
Located in the Pacific, Mazatlan carnival is considered the most established in Mexico. This is, without a doubt, a spectacle that year after year summons hundreds of thousands of people from across the map of the country.
Veracruz
At the other end of the middle part of the country, facing the Gulf of Mexico, is the Carnival of Veracruz, also famous for the female beauty that is there. It is the second most famous carnival in Mexico.
Campeche
We must recognize that the inhabitants of the neighboring state know how to have fun and always show it by making their carnival parties very colorful and showy, without missing the special guests who adorn the celebration in honor of the god Momo.
Merida, Yucatan
You should not miss the most familiar carnival in the country, that of Mérida, which every year continues to summon thousands of people who enjoy the parades and shows that are offered , not only for its quality, but also for the security conditions which prevail.
Ensenada, Baja California
Located at an hour and 35 minutes by car from Tijuana, it stands as the main option of partiers in the north of the country, which does not represent a lower quality, but a different offer in this part of the Republic.
