Like many countries, Mexico has a diverse range of socioeconomic statuses within its borders. A large population is met with widespread poverty unbeknownst to resort-goers. However, the economy is growing along with its middle class.

November through March remains Mexico’s dry season, which provides the nicest weather. Although this is a popular time for tourists, the window’s beginning or end may prove the most ideal time to visit.

The Mexican peso is the main currency used throughout the country. However, credit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs can be frequently found throughout the country.
