There are two travel seasons in mexico, one is the popular high season which runs from December 20th through Easter.

Mexico’s low season offers an affordable break from expensive world travel. Prices can dip 20-50% below standard rates. Interestingly, prices can revert back during June and July when school breaks decide family vacations.  Hurricane season runs from around June to November, so travelers should be aware of the possibility of this weather effecting their travel plans. The likelihood of a hurricane ruining your plans is relatively small, but you should make arrangements, like travel insurance and register with your country’s embassy.

The high season may be a bit more pricey, but it also affords the luxury of avoiding some weather issues and may even offer some cool travel incentives with group rates. Travel attractions will be more crowded, but there is also the positive result of more tour groups available.

Mexico’s rainy season typically runs from May to mid-October. What does this mean for travel plans? It usual means very little. The rain in Mexico usually consists of an late afternoon/early evening  burst that is quite attractive from a covered balcony. Many people simply take this time to unwind and get ready for their evenings.

As the above image shows, there are worse things than rain in Mexico. Some of the most amazing pictures are taken during and after a nice shower. The air is fresh and clean after a shower and everything seems a bit brighter.
