1. Adventure tourism

It is a very broad concept because almost anything can be made into an adventure, even if it is of dubious convenience.

Adventure tourism is practiced by people who - to explore an area - are able to make one journey by car, another by mountain bike, on the back of a mule, the penultimate one on foot and the last one uphill.

Its practitioners move at full speed through zip lines that are several dozen meters above the ground, or climb the Peña de Bernal on the most dangerous route

Some of the most exciting specialties in adventure tourism are rafting, bungee jumping, abseiling, and paragliding.

Many fans of this tourist trend stop to admire the flora and fauna related to ecological tourism or ecotourism.

Mexico has many destinations with excellent opportunities for adventure tourism, including: Barrancas del Cobre (Chihuahua), Agujero de las Golondrinas (San Luis Potosí), Jalcomulco (Veracruz), and Cascada Cola de Caballo (Nuevo León).

2. Sporttourismus

It is carried out by a wide variety of travelers whose main motivation is to practice a sport or to watch a sporting event.

These specialties include sport fishing, marathons and triathlons, motor boating, diving, car racing, cycling, sailing and many other disciplines.

It includes fishermen and divers who go to the Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, or the Riviera Nayarit, drawn to the opportunity to catch a specimen of a specific species or to admire life under certain waters.

This is where those who visit the Laguna de los Siete Colores in Bacalar, Lake Pátzcuaro, Banderas Bay, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun or Ciudad del Carmen compete to practice motorboat races (motorboat races).

Visitors to a Mexican city on the occasion of the Caribbean Series (for baseball fans) or a big game of the football championship also fall into this category. Sporttourismus

3. Business tourism

This modality uses business trips or events to promote the attractions of a city among travelers.

For example, if there is a congress on cell phones, toys, cars or other industries in Mexico City and the organizers say that participants can visit the Zócalo, the National Palace, the Chapultepec Forest and Xochimilco in their free time. If it's a world fair for leather goods in León, Guanajuato, leather tanners and shoe makers will see the Temple of Atonement, the Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral and the Arco de la Calzada.

Sometimes the executives who attend these business meetings are so busy that the tourist tours are only used by their companions.

Also those who attend book fairs and literary festivals (like the Guadalajara Book Fair) to meet writers and get them to stamp their autograph on a copy of their latest novel.

A sub-category that can be entered here is tourists who get to know the locations of great films (cinema tourism) or Dan Brown fans who travel to take the same tours to the characters of his famous novels, albeit in a different way. Less hectic.

Funeral tourists can also be considered here, people who travel to visit people's graves because they admire them or because of the beauty of their mausoleums.

The grave of José Alfredo Jiménez - in the Dolores Hidalgo cemetery - is well visited, both for the appreciation the songwriter enjoyed and for the mausoleum shaped like a giant charro hat.

It is probably the only "compulsory" tourism there is, as Islam prescribes that every Muslim must go to Mecca at least once in their life.

In Mexico, religious tourism is practiced by hundreds of thousands of people traveling on the pilgrimage route that ends at the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Talpa in the magical town of Talpa de Allende in Jalisco.

It's the Chilangos who go to Puebla from time to time to eat in their favorite restaurant, Mole Poblano, or in a different one each time to get to know them all.

There are also craft beer fans out there who can travel from one city to another to discover a new beer.

Highlights include those who roam the coastal towns in search of the tastiest lobster or shrimp, and those who stroll through Mexico's wine-growing regions (the Valle de Guadalupe and others) for on-site tastings.

People who travel for wine and its combinations are also known as oenological tourists.
