ContactPlanning Your Vacation In Mexico
GETTING STARTED
Mexico requires as little planning as you like. You can just grab your passport, get on the plane or bus or into your car and go! Traveling by road or plane within Mexico is easy and you'll discover so much to do and see that any plans you have may change in any case. You'll rarely have trouble finding suitable accommodation, on any budget. Equally, if you have limited time and specific goals, you can work out a detailed itinerary and reserve accommodations in advance. If this is your first trip to Mexico, especially if it's your first trip outside the developed world, be ready for more crowds, noise, bustle and poverty than you're accustomed to. But don't worry - most Mexicans will be only too happy to help you feel at home in their country. Invest a little time before your trip in learning even just a few phrases of Spanish - every word you know will make your trip that little bit easier and more enjoyable.
WHEN TO GO
Any time is a good time to visit Mexico, though the coastal and low-lying regions, especially in the southern half of the country, are fairly hot and humid
from May to September (these are the months of highest rainfall and highest
temperatures almost everywhere). The interior of the country has a more temperate climate than the coasts. In fact, it's sometimes decidedly chilly in
the north and in the central highlands from November to February. July and August are peak holiday months for both Mexicans and foreigners. Other big holiday seasons are mid-December to early January (for both foreigners and Mexicans), and a week either side of Easter (for Mexicans). At these times the coastal resorts attract big tourist crowds, room prices go up in popular places, and rooms and public transportation can be heavily booked, so advance reservations are advisable.
