Best Time to Visit

When is the best time to plan your trip to Mexico? Let's find out.

Since Mexico boasts diverse climates and landscapes, the best time to visit this North American country largely depends on the specific regions and activities you have in mind. Generally, the most favourable time for travel is during the dry season, which spans from late November to April. This period ensures pleasant weather with moderate temperatures, making it ideal to explore Mexico's rich cultural heritage, historical sites, and vibrant cities.

If you are interested in beach destinations the Cancún, Playa del Carmen, or Tulum along the Riviera Maya are just what you're looking for. The dry season is perfect for enjoying the stunning Caribbean coastline and engaging in water activities like snorkelling and diving. The Yucatán Peninsula experiences warm temperatures and lower humidity during these months, making it the perfect time for beach bums.

On the other hand, the summer months, particularly June to October, constitute the rainy season in many parts of Mexico. While the landscapes turn lush and green, coastal areas can experience heavy rainfall and occasional hurricanes. However, this time might be suitable for globetrotters seeking budget-friendly options and fewer crowds.

Mexico's central regions, including Mexico City and Guadalajara, maintain a more temperate climate year-round, but again, the dry season is generally preferable for outdoor exploration.

In summary, the best time to visit Mexico is during the dry season, from late November to April, for a well-rounded and enjoyable experience. However, specific preferences and destinations may influence the optimal timing for your trip.

We have used Goway several times to plan simple & more complicated trips. The last 2 trips we worked with Brooke Theron who is extremely customer focused. She listens well & is alway flexible to look at alternatives. We will continue using this representative & Goway. Our only criticism is that they do not break down the various costs of a trip which makes tipping very awkward. It can also create a sense of " mistrust" when all the costs are not transparent.

Our trip to Switzerland was an amazing experience. Our travel agent at GoWay, Bo was so helpful in helping my husband Louie plan just what we wanted to do on this trip. Taking the trains thru the county was easy by the many hours Louie and Bo worked on this. Also our helicopter ride in Zermatt on my birthday was just unbelievable. Flying around the Matterhorn and the Alps is one flight we will never forget. Thanks Bo for setting this up. The trip was one incredible adventure that we will never forget. Thanks again Bo, Lynn Gerber. Lynn Gerber

We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent.  We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.   Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.Ma Fa

Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!Amanda Schott

Our travel agent, Melissa Moses, created the perfect itinerary for our recent holiday to Portugal. Melissa had also planned our previous trip to England/Scotland.

Jacqueline F. made our trip exceptional. Everything she planned or reserved worked out as it was supposed to. Croatia was amazing and I feel we were able to explore a lot of it because of Jacqueline.Allen

This was the first time we had utilized Goway. We wanted a custom itinerary for a 3 week Italy, Athens and Greek Island adventure. Edwina Brislane was receptive to our goals for the trip, had helpful suggestions and reacted well to our requested revisions. Lisa Dachuk helped "tie a ribbon" on the trip and ensured we had considered all aspects of the experience. Lisa dealt quickly with a couple of requests while on the trip and celebrated a successful trip with us. We enjoyed working with both Edwina and Lisa. Their knowledge and enthusiasm contributed to our very memorable trip.Dan & Gail
