Welcome to my blog post on glamping in Mexico! If you love the great outdoors but don’t want to rough it, then glamping (or “glamorous camping”) is the perfect solution.

In this post, I’ll share some insights about glamping in this beautiful country and tips and recommendations for anyone planning a glamping trip.

So sit back, relax, and get ready to be inspired to plan your next luxury camping adventure in Mexico. Vamonos!

What is Glamping?

Glamping is the product of two words, Glamour and Camping.

For some years now, a new concept has emerged as an alternative for those who love camping and nature but wish to enjoy them with greater comfort and first-class services.

With this concept, travelers can enjoy their days of rest in a tent in the middle of nature, prioritizing luxury and comfort.

You will find options in the mountains, on the beach, in the jungle or the forest, and in the desert, all exciting alternatives to discovering a new way of traveling.

As the idea is to provide elegant and comfortable spaces, most destinations offer a variety of tents that, just like a hotel room, vary in price according to their size, location, services, and amenities.

How is glamping different from camping?

Again, glamping involves staying in fully equipped tents or other types of accommodation that offer more amenities and comforts than traditional tents.

These accommodations can range from yurts and tipis to tiny houses and tree houses and often include features like beds, electricity, and indoor plumbing.

Glamping is a way to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the outdoors while still having access to some of the comforts and conveniences of home.

On the other hand, traditional camping involves sleeping in a tent pitched on the ground and usually requires you to bring all your gear, including a sleeping bag, a sleeping pad, and a stove for cooking.

Traditional camping often involves more of a “roughing it” experience, as you may have to rely on natural water sources and may not have access to electricity or other amenities.
