In this sense, from Hertz Mexico we present the best destinations to celebrate the new year in Mexico, each with its own charm and unique style.

Los Cabos, at the tip of the Baja California peninsula, is an ideal luxury destination for those seeking an exclusive and relaxing celebration. With its landscapes of desert and sea, Los Cabos offers a different experience for the New Year.
Dinners at luxury resorts: Many of the five-star resorts in Los Cabos offer gala dinners to bid farewell to the year, with multi-course menus, selected wines and live music. Marina parties: The marina area in Cabo San Lucas is the perfect place to enjoy a lively party. With bars, restaurants and nightclubs, the marina is full of energy during New Year's Eve.

San Miguel de Allende: Tradition and Colonial Charm
Another excellent option to spend New Year's Eve in Mexico is San Miguel de Allende, located about an hour's drive from Guanajuato. During the New Year, the city is filled with lights, music and traditional celebrations.
Main Square: As in Mexico City, the celebration in the Main Square is one of the highlights. People gather in the center of the city to enjoy live music, dancing and fireworks. It is a more intimate and traditional experience compared to the big celebrations in other cities.
Restaurants and terraces: San Miguel de Allende is known for its excellent gastronomy and many of its restaurants offer special dinners to bid farewell to the year. The terraces overlooking the parish of San Miguel Arcangel are ideal places to enjoy dinner while watching the fireworks in the night sky.
Puerto Vallarta: Between the mountains and the sea
Puerto Vallarta, on the Pacific coast, is another place to spend New Year's Eve in Mexico. With its mix of mountains, sea and nightlife, Puerto Vallarta is an incredible destination that has everything for families, couples and friends. Malecon: The party on the Malecon is one of the main attractions of Puerto Vallarta. During New Year's Eve, thousands of people congregate on this seaside promenade to enjoy the music and fireworks.
Dinners on the beach: Many restaurants and hotels in the beach area offer special dinners to bid farewell to the year. In addition, many of these places offer spectacular views of the ocean and the fireworks. Oaxaca: Culture and tradition at its finest
If you are looking for a more cultural and traditional experience, Oaxaca is the perfect place to celebrate the New Year.
This city, known for its rich history and cultural heritage, offers a celebration full of unique customs and New Year's traditions.
La Noche de Rábanos: Although this event takes place a few days before New Year's Eve, it is one of the most emblematic festivities in Oaxaca, so we recommend you arrive early to enjoy it. Artisans create detailed figures using radishes and the city is filled with joy and creativity.
Dinner and party in the Plaza de la Constitución: The party in Oaxaca's main square is a mix of tradition and modernity. People gather to enjoy live music, traditional dances and fireworks.
In addition, many local restaurants offer special dinners with typical dishes of the region, such as mole or tamales.
How to choose where to spend New Year's Eve in Mexico?
Before choosing a destination to spend New Year's, it is important to define what kind of experience you are looking for (a quiet celebration or something more lively) and with whom you are going, since if you are traveling with family, friends or as a couple, interests and activities may vary.
On the other hand, keep in mind that there are destinations that are very crowded for these dates, so it is very important that you consider two things: booking in advance to secure accommodations and avoid high last-minute prices, and car rental to move freely and explore the surroundings at your own pace, especially if your destination has several attractions nearby. A car gives you the flexibility to make the most of the experience without relying on public transportation on busy days.
As you have seen, no matter what type of celebration you are looking for, in this country you will find the perfect place to welcome the new year with joy, color and lots of fun. So, plan ahead, make your lodging reservations, rent a car with Hertz Mexico and get ready for an unforgettable experience in any of these magnificent destinations.
