Planning your Mexico trip
Best time to go: The best time depends on the region. April is already very hot on the coast and the Yucatán Peninsula, northern winters can be cold, and hurricanes can affect Caribbean and Gulf coast cities.
- Copper CanyonAn enormous canyon system in the northwestern mountains, with a scenic railway.
- Mesoamerican Barrier ReefCoral reefs in the warm waters of the Mexican Caribbean.
- Sea of CortezSee migrating whales, sea lions and dolphins.
- Volcano BeltSee high mountain peaks and active, dormant and inactive volcanoes.
Scams to watch for in Mexico
- Free gifts that lead to timeshare sales pitchesPromoters offer free meals, hotel nights, rental cars, tickets or tours in return for attending a timeshare presentation. Some present themselves as tourist information staff. The sales pitch can last one to two hours or longer. Sellers may make false promises, claim an agency will buy back the timeshare or pressure you to sign immediately. Promised gifts can be hard to collect.
- Market touts and inflated tourist pricesVendors seek your attention and quote tourist prices. Mercado 28 has many touts and can cost more than smaller shops away from tourist areas. Beach vendors also expect bargaining. A high opening price is not proof of fraud, but buying under pressure can leave you paying too much.
- Taxi fare overchargingA driver quotes a high fare or avoids using a meter where one should be used. In Mexico City, a driver may justify a high price by saying the taxi is safe. Cancún taxis use zones rather than meters, which visitors may not understand. Mazatlán pulmonía drivers may start with a price above what they will accept.
