Travel to Mexico during Covid-19: What you need to know before you go

You'll find incredible food, sensational beaches, quaint towns and historical remains. While the beach resorts around Cancun attract the bulk of visitors, those who want more than a fly and flop go for Mexico City's cultural heft, the coastline of Baja California and traditional towns such as Oaxaca.

Mexico has some of the world's loosest border restrictions with anyone allowed to travel by air for business or leisure.

The land border with the United States remains shut to all but essential travel. People trying to enter through the southern border with Guatemala and Belize may also be denied entry for nonessential travel.

As of June 18, most states were categorized as yellow and green. No states were listed as red.

Quintana Roo, where popular tourist destinations Cancun and Playa del Carmen are located, was listed as orange. Baja California Sur, home to Cabo San Lucas, was also listed as orange. Mexico City was listed as green as was the state of Oaxaca.
