“Cancun typically dominates our tour and excursion sales,” said Caldwell. “So, it’s exciting to see destinations along Mexico’s west coast and its colonial cities expanding and making our top 10 list.”
 
Not quite making the list, but growing year-over-year as well, is the Cuernavaca and Taxco tour in Mexico City and the Cenote Ik kil swimming experience available with vacation packages to Merida.
