Cancun: A Mexico vacation classic. Photo: Thinkstock<\/p><\/div>\n

Sure, you can toast your margarita to Cinco de Mayo at your favorite neighborhood Mexican restaurant. But why not spend it marveling at ancient Mayan pyramids or kayaking past a colony of Baja sea lions? With Orbitz\u2019s Cinco deMayo Mexico Sale<\/a>, you can get a maximum Mexico experience for minimum pesos. Not sure where to go? Here are a few of our favorite locales south of the border.<\/p>\n

Cabo San Lucas<\/a><\/p>\n

Located on the southernmost tip of Baja, California, Cabo is an easy weekend jaunt for those living in California or the American Southwest. Visitors will find themselves surrounded by lush villas, golf courses and plenty of other Americans. Sunbathing is the main event here, especially along the sandy shores of Playa del Amour and Playa Solmar.<\/p>\n

Cancun<\/a><\/p>\n

No habla Espanol? No problem when you head to Southeastern Mexico\u2019s most famous resort mecca\u2014everybody speaks English, and many places accept American dollars as currency. Cancun\u2019s beaches are spectacular for parasailing and jet-skiing, and there is plenty of nightlife for party-seekers. If you can drag yourself away from your resort, consider a day trip to Chichen Itza, an ancient and impressive Mayan archaeological site.<\/p>\n

Puebla<\/a><\/p>\n

History seekers will love Mexico\u2019s fourth-largest city, where the Battle of Cinco de Mayo took place against the French 151 years ago. When you\u2019re done touring the city\u2019s recently-renovated hilltop forts, be sure to try Puebla\u2019s namesake dish, mole poblano, and soak in the town\u2019s caf\u00e9 culture and mild highland climate.<\/p>\n

Ixtapa<\/a> and Zihuatanejo<\/a><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t decide if you want a touristy experience or a slice of real Mexico? This friendly pair of resort areas just a few miles apart will give you a little of both. Ixtapa is the more commercial of the two, while Zihuahas a much more authentic feel\u2014but both have gorgeous beaches and waterfalls, not to mention amazing wildlife (sea turtles, crocs and so much more) just waiting to be discovered.<\/p>\n
