When to visit

The weather in Mexico is generally stormy from September to mid-October. December to April are the driest months across most of the country, though you can expect higher prices. November is a great month to visit Mexico, with the rains over and the peak season not having yet begun.

What you will be doing

Swim with whale sharks, explore Mayan caves, connect with nature and local communities in the South of Veracruz, and hike to the villages of Pueblos Mancomunados in the Oaxacan mountains. Appreciate art, music and ancient culture. Be whisked away by all the richness and delicious food this country has to offer.

Travel Style

From sophisticated capital cities to small towns and villages, Mexico has something for everyone. It’s easy to go to a resort in Mexico, but we recommend exploring beyond that, to places less discovered where you’ll have an incredible experience connecting with local culture and nature. Stay at a diverse set of lodging options, from luxury ecoldoges to community lodges, the choice is yours!

Best Ways to Get Around

If you are visiting only one region only you can rent a car, or take buses from one city to another. ADO is a reliable bus company and has different classes depending on what you are comfortable with. To visit several regions in Mexico there are domestic airlines that offer very comprehensive service. Aeromexico, Volaris, and Interjet are the biggest ones.

MEXICO by car

5 star review
We had a lovely travel experience. Based on certain places and things we wanted to do and see the agency created a personal travel plan for us. This way we could be sure how much we could fit in our time frame travelling by car. One of the reasons we had decided to go through an agency was that we are aware of the fragile eco system in Mexico which is something really special and beautiful to see. Our tours and activities were operated by locals and companies that also do their best to preserve nature. This is a nice way of getting to know locals and the country a little better. Before, during and even after our trip we were taken very good care of by Melina, our travel host. We were able to text or call her at any time with any questions we had! Furthermore we had some nice experiences based on the agency’s recommendations nevertheless the trip always felt unique.

Custom trip to CDMX , Guanajuato and San Miguel

5 star review
All of my requests for a variety of experiences- urban museums, horseback rides, cooking lessons and hikes on my solo trip to Colonial Mexico were accommodated. The drivers and guides from Mexico City to Guanajuato and San Miguel were reliable, well-informed and passionate about their beautiful cities and country. I was particularly impressed and reassured by Sibila, who designed a perfect itinerary and Melina, a very warm and efficient travel agent, who was in frequent contact with me both before and during my 10 day trip.

So fun and informative!

5 star review
We had a phenomenal time taking this tour! We saw so many incredible animals, including tons of birds, manatees, and crocodiles! Our guides were knowledgeable, professional, and obviously committed to taking care of the bioreserve. They picked up trash on the beach we visited and educated us about safe sunscreen. The food was delicious: the tamale with bananas and beans was some of the best food I ate all week. This tour was the highlight of my week in Tulum!

This not only means you’ll be getting an authentic local experience but you know first hand that your money is going directly to the communities you visit. How’s that for a win/win? Rather than endless searching for "best places to stay in mexico," "adventures in mexico," "must see mexico," why not just ask an expert who lives there and knows all about amazing experiences perfect for your specific travel style?

Mexico City
Hometown - Tlaxcala, México Fun fact - I'm a big fan of having hammocks in my room, now I have two. Motivation for working in the impact travel space - While studying international tourism and hoping to travel around the world, I realized that Mexico was being damaged by big industry tourism. By focusing on immersive, cultural experiences and supporting local communities, I can help ensure that tourism benefits both travelers and the local people and environment and also help travelers have real cultural immersive trips in Mexico. In this way I hope to be part of the solution.

Our Story

Experience the breathtaking beauty and unique biodiversity of Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula in our film. Covering just 0.0001% of the planet's surface, this tropical rainforest is home to 2.5% of the world's species. We fell in love with the region when we first visited in 2012, but were shocked to learn that the planned construction of an international airport threatened to destroy its natural beauty forever. Join us on our journey to learn more and help protect this incredible place. Don't miss this amazing film. Watch the full documentary >
