Find the perfect time to travel for you

1. Best time to escape the cold

Although Cancun is known for having a tropical climate most of the year, there are certain periods that stand out for offering especially pleasant weather conditions.

2. Ideal months to avoid rainy season

If your idea of a perfect vacation includes sunny days and clear skies, then the best time to travel to Cancun is during the dry season, that is, between November and April.

As an extra tip, keep in mind that the rainy season generally occurs from May to October , so those are the months you want to avoid!

3. Season to avoid sargassum

When arriving in Cancun, many travelers have a big concern: sargasso. If you want to avoid this phenomenon at all costs, we recommend planning your trip in the months October to March. When the ocean currents usually move the sargassum away from the coast, leaving the beaches clean and ready to enjoy.

For a worry-free experience, before traveling we suggest you consult updated information about sargassum or take a look at our recommendations to avoid this season. This way you will be able to relax and fully enjoy Cancun's beaches.

4. Best time to travel to Cancun

For many, the best time to travel to Cancun is from December to April. Since the weather is warm and dry, with low humidity and average temperatures ranging between 24°C and 30°C.

However, it is important to keep in mind that it is also the high season. This means that beaches and tourist attractions may be more crowded, and you may find higher prices. However, it also brings with it a variety of events and festivals, such as the Cancun Carnival in February and the Christmas festivities. 

So if you don't mind sharing paradise with other travelers and are willing to pay a little more for comfort and first-class experiences, this may be the perfect time for your getaway.

5. Ideal time to save on your vacation

Finally, if you are looking to save on your trip to Cancun, there is no better time to travel than in the low season, which is between September and November.  Although you should know that the weather that you will find in Cancun is hot and humid.
