The Gulf of Mexico’s Veracruz Coral Reef System National Park is a priceless treasure.

It’s a unique reef that has no equal in the Gulf of Mexico, and we think it’s the perfect place for divers to hone their skills.

We just can’t get enough of the interconnected system of 17 reefs, which cover a whopping 52,238 hectares.

Slipping beneath the breaking waves in search of the most amazing tropical fish on the planet, you’ll soon realise there’s a lot more to a diving holiday in Mexico than seafood and sponges.

With more than 350 ship wrecks scattered among the reef formations, you could even end up stumbling across sunken treasure (but don’t hold your breath, most parts of the reef are well mapped).

And once you make it back on land, Veracruz offers a fantastic mix of fast-paced city life and traditional Mexican culture.

But if you’re wanting paradise all the way, why not head south around the Yucatan Peninsula to the original Gulf of Mexico paradise, the Isla Holbox. An incredible getaway for those who demand a touch of class when on holiday in Mexico.ADNFCR-2390-ID-19359860-ADNFCR
