How We Research
Transparency is at the core of everything we do. Here is an inside look at how we create our Mexico travel guides.
1. Firsthand Experience
Our research starts on the ground. Our writers personally visit the destinations, hotels, restaurants, and attractions they write about. We take public transport, eat at local markets, and experience Mexico the way our readers will. This firsthand experience is the foundation of every guide.
2. In-Depth Research
We supplement personal experience with thorough research from multiple sources:
- Official tourism board websites and government travel advisories
- Academic and historical sources for cultural information
- Local news outlets for current events and changes
- Conversations with local residents, guides, and expats
- Verified traveler reviews and community feedback
3. Content Creation
With research complete, our writers create comprehensive guides focused on practical, actionable information. We prioritize answering the questions travelers actually have: How much does it cost? How do I get there? What should I know before I go? Is it safe?
4. Peer Review & Fact-Checking
Every article is reviewed by at least one additional team member before publication. This review checks for factual accuracy, completeness, reader-friendliness, and ensures practical details like prices and schedules are current.
5. Ongoing Updates
Mexico is a dynamic country where travel information changes frequently. We systematically review and update our content based on:
- Scheduled review cycles (every 6-12 months)
- Reader feedback and correction reports
- News monitoring for significant changes
- Return visits by our writers
