I'm have two weeks in September and I always wanted to see Ziggurats. So, Mexico.
I like to visit lots of ruins preferably around some jungles. But obviously I can't skip Mexico City.
I also didn't get to have any nice beach holiday this whole summer and would love to get that as well.
I also wanna try the food, should be palatable for me. And I wanna have a safe but fun nightlife.
I have two problems.
I have zero Spanish. Can I survive? So far I managed great on my own in Europe, Moscow, Thailand, Korea..
Second problem, I'm from Turkey so there is no direct flight for whatever reason. Main options are AirFrance via Paris. Or some combination of Miami + Cancun or Mexico City.
I checked some package tours, and most of them combine Havana in.
I'm open to any and all suggestions, so thanks in advance

Tulum area gives you beaches and ruins, I like Coba for jungle ruins.

Mexico City has plenty of cool ruins around like pic related.
You can also take a flight from there to Cancún, enjoy the nightlife there and check Mayan ruins in the jungle (Chichén Itzá, Tulum, Cobá, etc)

Thanks
Do you think language is a problem?
Also of concern, I see mexico is a huge country and like Turkey, many places are scattered around. Is it safe -easy to travel from one place to other? Should I plan a route to see a few places ahead? or just take 2 or 3 places as main base and take day tours from there?

>Do you think language is a problem?
Most middle-class people speak some english, but even if someone doesn't speak english they'll be friendly.
>Is it safe -easy to travel from one place to other?
Depends where you go and ow you travel, there are definitely dangerous places that you shouldn't visit, some others, like Cancun, are probably safer tha Turkey.
>Should I plan a route to see a few places ahead? or just take 2 or 3 places as main base and take day tours from there?
This is up to you and what you wannt to see, btw the Cancun/Riviera Maya would make an excellent base for visiting the Yucatan peninsula.
