Mexico Tours

There really is no bad time to visit Mexico, but certain times of the year may appeal to different people more than others, and some destinations may be better at certain times of the year.

Summer, from June to October, is in theory the rainy season in Mexico, but just how wet it is varies wildly from place to place. In the heart of the country you can expect a heavy but short-lived downpour virtually every afternoon; in the north hardly any rain falls, ever. Along the beaches, September to mid-October is hurricane season – you’ll usually get wet weather, choppy seas and mosquitoes, if not a full-on tropical storm. Late winter is the traditional tourist season, worth considering when thinking about the best time to visit, and in the big resorts like Acapulco and Cancún, the months from December through to April are the busiest. Mountain areas, though, can get very cold then; in fact, nights in the mountains can be extremely cold at any time of year.

Tourists anywhere are prime targets for criminals; therefore, you need to be aware of the risks of theft and need to make sure to protect yourself. There are parts of Mexico that are unsafe for tourists to visit, but in the majority of the country, especially along the tourist trails, it is safe.

Some safety notes: do not take your valuables with you, leave them locked in a safety deposit box; keep your spending money, camera and phone close to you, preferably beneath clothing; do not go to areas where tourists are not expected; always use taxis with official identification.

All of our tours include daily breakfast and some other meals throughout. Based on moderate priced lunches and dinners we suggest a budget of 40-50 USD per day per person.
