A diverse place with warm people, unique art and archeology, Mexico has a lot to offer to the travelers, from the pristine beaches on the Oaxaca coast, Cancun, Cozumel and Acapulco – the perfect places for surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling or just laying in the sun – to the spectacular volcanoes in Toluca, the snowy Sierra Mountains or the rainforest in Chiapas.
Besides the natural treasures of the country, more than 50 courses spread around the country are waiting for all you golf aficionados out there.
Nonetheless, in order to get a taste of a true Mexican experience you should see the colonial architecture in Monterrey, Guadalajara or San Cristobal de las Casas, still bearing the marks of Spanish conquistadores.
And in order to fully understand the course of history in this magical land, you must visit the archaeological sites rich in culture belonging to the Maya, Olmec, Tarascan, and Aztec civilizations, such as Teotihuacan (according to Aztec legends, it was here where the gods gathered to plan the creation of man), the majestic temples in Chichen Itza or the Maya city-state of Uxmal.

The Tropic of Cancer effectively divides the country into temperate and tropical zones. Land north of the twenty-fourth parallel experiences cooler temperatures during the winter months. South of the twenty-fourth parallel, temperatures are fairly constant year round and vary solely as a function of elevation.
Areas south of the twenty-fourth parallel with elevations up to 1,000 meters (the southern parts of both coastal plains as well as the Yucatán Peninsula), have a yearly median temperature between 24 and 28 °C. Temperatures here remain high throughout the year, with only a 5 °C difference between winter and summer median temperatures. Although low-lying areas north of the twentieth-fourth parallel are hot and humid during the summer, they generally have lower yearly temperature averages (from 20 to 24 °C) because of more moderate conditions during the winter.
Many large cities in Mexico are located in the Valley of Mexico or in adjacent valleys with altitudes generally above 2,000 m, this gives them a year-round temperate climate with yearly temperature averages (from 16 to 18 °C) and cool nighttime temperatures throughout the year. Many parts of Mexico, particularly the north have a dry climate with sporadic rainfall while parts of the tropical lowlands in the south average more than 200 cm of annual precipitation.
When to go
Best to visit is October to May. May to September is hot and humid and December to February is cold.
