When is the Best Time to Visit Mexico?
The best time to visit Mexico depends on what you want to do and where you want to go. Generally the dry season is the best time to visit from November to April when the weather is warm and sunny and perfect for beach vacations in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Puerto Vallarta. This is also the time to visit cultural and historical sites like Chichen Itza and Teotihuacan without the discomfort of heat and rain.
If you want to go whale watching the peak season in Baja California is from December to April but it is from … to October in the Yucatan.
If you want fewer crowds and lower prices May to June and September to October are good times to visit with pleasant weather and a more relaxed trip. Just be aware that the rainy season from May to October can bring heavy showers in the tropical areas but it rarely affects your travel plans.
