If you are looking for a trip to take at the end of fall/beginning of winter, Mexico is a top contender. Known for its beautiful beaches, competitive pricing, and amazing culture and history, Mexico is a great destination for those looking for a quick trip. The period of September- November is less crowded and more affordable than other times of year and coincides with the rainy/stormy season on both coasts. The weather tends to improve at the end of October and in November and there’s a lower risk of encountering storms. You also get the benefit of being able to participate in festivals, such as Dia de Los Muertos which takes place the first few days of November.
Winter is a great time to travel to Mexico and the crowds begin to pick up around then, with many people trying to escape the winter chill in their own hometowns. You’ll find comfortable weather in the 70’s and 80’s on the coasts and beaches, perfect for sightseeing or just hanging out in the sunshine.
