ROMANTIC MEXICO GETAWAYS
by Eleanor S. Morris

Mexico offers endless options for romantic getaways - from serenades by mariachi singers in Mexico City's Plaza Garibaldi to quaint colonial towns and secluded beaches - and all are within easy reach with AeroMexico's convenient flights to dozens of destinations throughout Mexico. Here are some of the romantic destinations two can getaway:

Fly into the Yucatan to CANCUN and enjoy not only the beautiful long narrow strips of beaches lined with luxurious hotels and resorts on the Mexican Riviera like the exotic Royal Hideaway, as well as fine dining, and exciting excursions into the jungle. There in a tropical setting you can explore the mystery of the Maya in the nearby ancient ruins of Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum.

Another AeroMexico destination is ISLA COZUMEL, island of the swallows in the ancient Mayan tongue. The island is renowned for its diving and coral reefs and underwater caverns, counted among the best in the world, as well as its fine white sand beaches. There are many fine resorts, excellent restaurants, and great shopping.

On the West coast, in Baja California, LOS CABOS on the southern tip is well known for its striking desert-by-the-sea resorts. The only living coral reef on the western shore of North America is here too, a wonderful discovery for divers. Go out to sea here, too, on romantic expeditions to sight whales, both orcas and humpback, and sea lions. And of course you won't want to miss a small excursion on your own to Lovers Beach, under famous Los Arcos, the rock arches on the way.

Back on the mainland and heading south, PUERTO VALLARTA is affectionately called "PV" by its aficionados. It has a romantic association, thanks to the movie "The Night of the Iguana" starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton being filmed here. There are also great restaurants, shops, and fun day trip excursions to be found in this charming port.

Further south, MAZATLAN has both long beaches with golden sand and a Historical Downtown with excellent dining and fun nightlife--and of course, shopping as well. Calm waters here are great for practicing water sports--and you can go down to the port and watch the large cruise ships from San Diego and Los Angeles sink anchor.

As for ahhh IXTAPA, and its twin ZIHUATENEJO, here are two romantic spots in one. A combination of fourteen unspoiled beaches, deluxe resorts, and village charm-- luxurious resorts in Ixtapa and local color and shopping in Zihuatenejo--just can't be beat.

Another very well-known and popular AeroMexico destination is ACAPULCO. The resort's image as a romantic grown-up playground was born when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were married here. Along the Costera fabulous resort hotels stretch on the bay, gourmet restaurants cater to sophisticated palates, and in night clubs couples dance the night away. A special attraction here are the divers of La Quebrada, who plunge from rocky cliffs into the Pacific far below.
