Experience pristine Caribbean and Pacific beaches flanked by an inviting turquoise green sea, to rugged mountains and deep canyon railways, dense jungle, colonial heritage and luxury resorts, to ancient civilisations and their massive pyramids.
Pristine white sandy beaches, lapped by turquoise green waters and fringed by languid palm trees lazily swaying in the warm afternoon breeze? It's what tempts visitors from far and wide, to experience a country with a fascinating history, with extraordinary Mayan and Aztec ruins, and where sleepy hillside colonial era towns are brought to life by bustling markets.
At the heart of the country is a buzzing capital city, rich in contemporary art, Aztec archaeology and colonial history. The resorts in the Yucatán Peninsula are among the best in the world, miles upon miles of unspoilt beaches; inland lies a remarkable heritage to you to discover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every journey is unique, and questions are part of the process. This FAQ covers the most common topics to help you prepare, while our advisers are always on hand for more personal guidance.
Best Time to Visit Mexico
When is the best time to visit Mexico?
Mexico is a year round destination, but the best time to visit depends on which part of the country you are travelling to. The country has diverse climates, from tropical beaches and arid deserts to higland cities. Generally, the dry season from November to April is the most popular time, especially for beach resorts, while the rainy season from May to Ocotber offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and good value.
November to April - Dry Season
This is the most popular period to visit Mexico, particularly along the Caribbean and Pacific coasts. Expect warm, sunny days with average temperatures of 26-30°C in beach destinations such as Cancun, Riviera Maya, and Los Cabos. The highlands, including Mexico City and Oaxaca, are cooler at 20-24°C with crisp evenings. This season is ideal for outdoor activities, festivals, and exploring colonial towns. December to February is peak season, so expect higher prices and busy resorts, especially around Christmas, New Year, and Easter.
May to October - Rainy Season
Rain usually falls in short, heavy afternoon showers, particularly from June to September. Average temperatures remain warm at 28-32°C on the coast and 22-26°C in the highlands. The landscapes are at their greenest, and this is an excellent season for wildlife, such as whale sharks off the Yucatan Peninsula (June-September) and sea turtle nesting (July-October).
December to March - Winter in the Highlands
Inland regions such as Mexico City, Puebla, and San Cristobal de las Casas are cooler in winter, with day time highs of 18-22°C and chilly nights that can drop below 10°C. This is a comfortable time to explore archaeological sites like Teotihuacan and Monte Alban without the summer heat. It also coincides with major festivals such as Dia de los Muertos (late October-early November) and Christmas traditions.
Year-Round - Pacific & Caribbean Beaches
Mexico's beaches can be enjoyed throughout the year. The Caribbean (Cancun, Tulum, Riviera Maya) offers turquoise waters and lively resorts, while the Pacific coast (Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Oaxaca coast) is excellent for surfing, whale watching (January-March), and relaxed beach escapes. The dry season is best for guaranteed sun, but the rainy season brings fewer crowds and good deals.
