Pick Mexico 🇲🇽 if you're going in…

January, April, May, June, December

Day of the Dead in Oaxaca is unforgettable but books out 6 months ahead.

September, October, November

Don't try the whole country in monsoon swing months (Sep–Oct) — coastal weather is unreliable.

Months where both are equally good: February, March, July, August.
