You can expect Acapulco, Cabo, Cancun, and any other touristy city in Mexico to be overrun with college students over the next few weeks as they celebrate a much-needed break from studying…with tequila. Mexico has emerged as a popular destination for spring breakers because it’s inexpensive, relatively close, and the legal drinking age is 18. However, while a Mexican getaway can be fun, here are some options for the more adventurous traveler looking for a truly unique experience:
