Although many travelers balk at the idea of flying to Mexico in June for a vacation, you should certainly consider traveling to the country during this month. Below are a few reasons why.

  • Great discounts: A low tourist season means a sharp drop in the prices of hotels, flights, and activities. Head for Mexico in June and make the most of your budget.
  • Fewer people: Dwindling footfall means less-crowded highlights. Travel to Mexico in June if you wish to enjoy the top sights of the country without being swamped by people.
  • Monsoon magic: Rains bring life to parched landscapes across the country, allowing you to experience a different side of Mexico in June.
  • Turtle time: Many species of turtles have their nesting season in June. If you are not a turtle lover, you will turn into one while in Mexico in June.
  • Urban charm: Mexico City’s weather in June is moderate enough to go out on a sightseeing tour in the city. Worried about getting caught in a sudden shower? The capital is home to plenty of world-class museums and indoor attractions.
  • Festive delights: June has its fair share of events and festivals, including Feria de San Pedro (Saint Peter’s Fair) which is held in Tlaquepaque in honor of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. This event features live music and concerts. The other festival that might interest you is Día de Los Locos (the Day of the Crazies) which is held in San Miguel de Allende. This celebration is a madcap mix of satire, over-the-top costumes, music, folklore, and boisterous parades where marchers throw candies at shrieking crowds.
 

Where to go and what to do

It is okay to check the weather report before stepping out during the monsoon, but do not let the rain spoil your fun in Mexico in June. If you are planning on exploring the Yucatán Peninsula, it does not rain much in the area so you can enjoy its white sand beaches and swim and dive in the ocean. Head to the lovely Isla Mujeres if you want to see whale sharks and sea turtles. If you are looking to relax on the beaches of Cancun, June will not be a letdown. This is also a great time to get familiar with Mexico’s capital—go on food tours in the city, visit the museum dedicated to Frida Kahlo, marvel at Diego Rivera’s masterpiece ‘The History of Mexico’ and admire the frenzied atmosphere of La Merced, among Mexico City’s liveliest markets.

Around Mexico City are remarkable ruins that are worth exploring. One of them is the Unesco World Heritage site of Teotihuacan, while the other is Xochimilco, home to floating gardens and canals where you can go on boat cruises. A unique destination worth visiting during your trip to the country in June is Oaxaca. Located in the southern part of the country, Oaxaca is a destination unlike any other in Mexico. Attend its lively concerts and art exhibitions and explore its urban villages and weekly markets. Speaking of urban charm, the cobblestone streets, bright houses, colonial architecture, and superb museums of Guanajuato, another Unesco World Heritage site, deserve to be on your June itinerary.
