Well-preserved and often amazingly sited Mayan and Aztec ruins are scattered across the country. Wander the cobbled streets of lovely colonial towns, relax under the palms of a sandy beach or go whale watching off the dramatic Baja Peninsula.

The best months to travel are from December to May.
However, travel is possible all year round and travelling ‘off-season’ can often result in lower rates, cheaper airfares and fewer crowds.
Avoid the Hurricane Season (July-October)
