Is November a good time to visit Mexico?
This is generally considered the best time to visit Mexico. Falling outside the peak tourist season, temperatures tend to be comfortable and mild, plus there are far fewer crowds compared to the warmer winter months.
As well as being the month of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), the landscape in November is often lush and vibrant due to it being the tail-end of the rainy season, and coastal areas like Acapulco and Cancun offer warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine, making them ideal for a bit of beach time.
