Travelers Guide to Mexico

For Carlos Gaytán success has never been just about recognition — it’s about representation. 🇲🇽

From earning a Michelin star in 2013 to building concepts like Tzuco in Chicago, his work has consistently centered around one idea: bringing Mexico to the table through memory, culture, and ingredient-driven storytelling.

What defines his perspective is a deep connection to origin. Growing up in Guerrero shaped not only his palate, but his understanding of food as something lived — from harvesting ingredients to cooking them with intention. That same philosophy continues to guide his kitchens today.

With Teté his most personal project, that vision becomes even more intimate. It’s a return to his roots, to the flavors of his childhood and the legacy of his mother, translated into a menu that evolves while staying grounded in Mexican identity.

Across every project, the message remains clear: Mexican cuisine isn’t static — it travels, transforms, and continues to tell stories wherever it goes. ✨

With the FIFA World Cup 2026 just around the corner, Guadalajara is stepping into the global spotlight — with an expected audience of up to 6 billion viewers.

Mexico will host 13 matches across three cities, and Guadalajara’s role is key, hosting four group-stage games at Estadio Akron (temporarily renamed “Estadio Guadalajara” for the tournament), with a capacity of over 46,000 fans.

From a practical perspective, distances matter: the stadium sits about 30 minutes from the Historic Center and 40 minutes from the airport, making planning ahead essential — especially during peak match days when the city is expected to be at full capacity.

What also defines Guadalajara during this moment is its cultural energy. Beyond the matches, the city blends football with music, tradition, and identity — from mariachi roots to large-scale public celebrations that will transform key landmarks into gathering points for fans from around the world.

And if time allows, extending the trip opens the door to exploring nearby destinations that are deeply tied to Mexico’s cultural identity, turning a sports trip into a much broader travel experience.

Tucked away from the usual Riviera Maya pace, Viceroy Riviera Maya is designed for travelers who value stillness as much as design.

What sets it apart isn’t just the setting — it’s the way everything is intentionally slowed down. Paths are hidden under dense jungle, villas are positioned to feel completely private, and even the transition from room to outdoors feels seamless, almost ritualistic.

The culinary experience also plays a key role. Under the direction of Chef Alejandro Salgado, the kitchen focuses on precision and product, offering a contemporary interpretation of Mexican cuisine that feels refined but never disconnected from its roots.

Another layer worth noting is the scale: with only 41 villas, the entire property operates almost like a private residence rather than a traditional resort — something increasingly rare in this region.

And then there’s the wellness approach. At Wayak Spa, treatments go beyond relaxation, incorporating elements like temazcal and ancestral techniques that connect the experience to the cultural landscape of the Yucatán Peninsula.

This is not about doing more — it’s about experiencing less, but better. 🌴
