Country Overview
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Mexico is from December to April, when the weather is dry, sunny, and perfect for beaches, sightseeing, and outdoor adventures. This period is ideal for visiting Cancun, Tulum, and Mexico City, or exploring the ancient Mayan ruins across the Yucatán Peninsula.
Dry Season (Dec–Apr): Expect warm days, calm seas, and plenty of sunshine — ideal for snorkeling, hiking, and cultural tours.
Rainy Season (May–Oct): Brings tropical showers but also lush green landscapes and fewer crowds.
Tip: For great weather and fewer tourists, plan your trip in February, March, or November.
