LONDON (4 April 2024) — What can a jungle trail in the Yucatán teach hikers about Mexico’s colonial history? Why does the survival of the rare chilhuacle rojo chilli depend on an all-female kitchen in the Oaxaca Valley? How is one of Mexico’s most revered plants distilled into its most infamous spirit?

Find out in the May issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK), which invites readers to discover this diverse and spirited nation through the communities and craftspeople keeping its culture alive. From the sun-soaked thrills of Mexico City to the butterfly-enveloped forests of the Michoacán mountains, we offer a fresh look at Latin America’s most popular travel destination.

Also, free with this issue is a 100-page Alps summer guide, featuring the pick of the peaks, with inspiration on the best trips to the mountains of Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia.
