The North American winter months, November to February, are particularly great for older travelers often referred to as “snow birds,” wanting to escape the cold.
The fall and late spring can be good times to find cheaper flights if costs are of concern.
Depending on where you want to travel in Mexico, there are more and less ideal times of the year to go. For example, if you are wanting to visit Cancun, we don’t recommend the “spring break period,” that is unless you are in search of a party atmosphere.

On the Caribbean coast of Mexico, we recommend visiting the Riviera Maya. This area consists of Playa del Carmen and Tulum.
Above all, there are many all-inclusive resorts and beautiful beaches. Tulum is a quaint, but progressing town with activities from yoga to snorkeling.
Mexico City is an often-misrepresented city that has a ton of culture and lots to offer. The city has a population over 20 million and a crime rate well below many major U.S. cities.
Guanajuato is another inland location attracting travelers in Mexico. It has a wonderful vibe, brightly colored homes, and winding streets.
