Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner. Students who will be traveling to Mexico this year for the festivities on May 5 will want to be aware of what they can look forward to during their trip and ensure that they have sufficient Cinco de Mayo travel medical insurance.
Each year on the fifth of May the state of Puebla and Mexico City provide some of the largest festivities in Mexico in honor of Mexico’s win in the Battle of Puebla against the French. Many people confuse Cinco de Mayo with being the Mexican Independence Day, although it is not, those traveling to Mexico over Cinco de Mayo will still have access to rich Mexican culture as it runs ramped during this celebration.
Military parades and mock re-enactments of the Battle of Puebla are both highlights of this commemoration as those performing have usually logged multiple hours practicing for these events. There is also a plethora of dancing to mariachi bands and traditional Mexican dishes to be discovered. With food abound, the Cinco de Mayo celebration gives foodies something to look forward to. Mole sauce, chiles rellenos, tostados, and tacos are just a few of the goodies to be expected.
If you are taking a short trip to Puebla, Mexico City or any other location in Mexico to join in on the Cinco de Mayo excitement make sure your current health insurance includes Cinco de Mayo Travel Medical Insurance. If your plan does not provide you with the international health coverage you will need while joining in on the fiesta, you will want to purchase Cinco de Mayo travel medical insurance before your journey. You can purchase this coverage for as little as 5 days and have access to your documents right away. Contact one of our agents if you would like more information on purchasing a plan.
