Perfecto vs. Preterito to describe experiences

I am currently taking lessons from a tutor from Latin American who told me that in describing past experiences you would specifically use the past perfecto-He viajado en Mexica instead of the preterito. You contradict this. I wonder if this means you can actually use either and it's just a preference.

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the preterite tense in Spanish to talk about experiences"
