Mexico is a traveler's paradise, crammed with a multitude of
opposing identities: desert landscapes, snow-capped volcanoes,
ancient ruins, teeming industrialized cities, time-warped colonial
towns, glitzy resorts, lonely beaches and a world-beating collection
of flora and fauna.
This mix of modern and traditional, the clichéd and the surreal, is
the key to Mexico's charm, whether your passion is throwing back
margaritas, listening to howler monkeys, surfing the Mexican
Pipeline, scrambling over Mayan ruins or expanding your Day of the
Dead collection of possible skeletons.
When To Go
Mexico is enjoyable year-round, but October to May is generally the
most pleasant time to visit. The May-September period can be hot and
humid, particularly in the south, and inland temperatures can
approach freezing during December-February. Facilities are often
heavily booked during Semana Santa (the week before Easter) and
Christmas/New Year, the peak domestic travel periods.
Mexico's climate has something for everyone: it's hot and humid
along the coastal plains, and drier and more temperate at higher
elevations inland (Guadalajara or Mexico City, for example). Try to
avoid Mexico's southern coast between July and September - the
resorts are decidedly soggy and jam-packed, as July-August are also
popular holiday months for foreign visitors.
