Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Mexico will depend largely on which region you plan to visit. In general, though, the best time to visit Mexico is during the dry season, from December to April.

The winter months of December, January, and February are not only dry but are also the coolest months of the year. However, temperature4s can still reach above 80°F/27°C.

Many beach destinations we’ll see the highest crowds during the busy spring months of March and April.

To avoid large crowds and increased prices, consider visiting Mexico in May, just as the rainy season begins, or November, as the hurricane season comes to an end.

The rainy season in Mexico begins in May and runs through October.
