Chris & Elaine’s Taco Trail 2026

Finally we are ready to take our first big trip since 2020 and we are off to Mexico to escape the cold British winter.

We’ve been planning a return since our roadtrip round the Yucatan peninsular 12 years ago, but this time we are starting in Mexico City.  From here, we are travelling through four states by bus, stopping at Puebla, Oaxaca, San Cristobal de Casas and Palenque before ending at Villahermosa where we will catch a plane back to Mexico City.

We want to explore it all!  More of the ancient ruins left by mighty civilisations, more towns with colourful streets of colonial architecture, more vibrant arts and crafts made by local artisans and definitely more of Mexico’s rich culinary heritage.

But we will be taking it slowly … with time to wander … be inquisitive … get lost … take photos … and most importantly, sip margaritas!
