For decades, Mexico has been a favorite summer destination. It’s no wonder why though, as it has affordable prices, tropical beaches and cuisine, and a variety of activities!
Throughout Mexico, you’ll find many different cultures, locals, and even food, as it is a diverse country. From the tip of Baja California to the Yucatan Peninsula, you can spend weeks exploring the country, and still not experience everything it has to offer the traveler.
Here’s my quick guide to traveling Mexico in the summer!
Weather & Packing
Mexico enjoys warm temperatures year-round, with summer a perfect example of 80-degree sunshine. Mexico’s all about sun, so don’t forget to pack your sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses—and remember to drink lots of water.
Wear insect repellent to scare away those nasty mosquitoes. I recently discovered an all-natural spray that protects you from bugs and natural elements- check out “Cactus Juice“!
Since the heat and humidity can be daunting at times, avoid the worst of the humidity by dressing in breathable fabrics like linen and cotton.
Accommodation
There’s no end to accommodations in Mexico—it all depends on your budget and your expectations.From five-star resorts to economical hostels, there’s something for everyone. Low season starts in late spring, so book your hotel in May for the best deals.
Helpful Tip: Try to avoid the winter (especially around Christmas and New Year) as this is the peak season.
Activities
Mexico offers a wide selection of activities depending on where you are. In Cancun, try your hand at paragliding, scuba diving, snorkeling, and yachting; in Puerto Vallarta, you may fancy a game of high-stakes golf.
