Ann Lile gives the inside scoop on Mexico travel in the following interview.

|
|
| What's the best time of the year to go to Mexico? |
|
The peak season for traveling to Mexico is December through April,
while the low season is from May through November.
The official hurricane season is June to October, which affects primarily the Yucatan Peninsula and Southern Coast.
If you're going to be honeymooning during hurricane season, and can't take the chance of being visited by a hurricane on your
vacation, you might be wise to avoid these regions of the country to be absolutely safe.
Rainy season is May through mid-October. The rainy season is of little consequence in the Northern region of the country
while the Southern region typically receives tropical showers in the late afternoon on a daily basis.
| What's special about Mexico compared to Tahiti or Hawaii? |
|
In addition to having beautiful beaches and various water activities to enjoy like Hawaii and Tahiti,
Mexico affords the traveler the opportunity to experience wonderful archaeological sites such as
Teotihuacán,
Monte Alban, and
Palenque.
In addition, travelers can explore the
Mayan ruins of
Chichen Itza,
Uxmal, and
Tulum.
Mexico is also home to many all-inclusive resorts, which provide wonderful value for travelers.

|
| What are your favorite "hidden gems" of Mexico? |
|
|
|
My personal favorites are the colonial cities of Mexico.
These cities offer a tremendous amount of history, culture, architecture, a great climate, and a taste of the real Mexico.
Built back in the 1500's near the silver mines, these cities offer many small,
intimate properties for vacationers of all kinds.
Highly recommended places to stay are the Quinta Real properties in
Huatulco or
Aguascalientes,
which will give the traveler an intimate
experience that combines the true flavor of Old Mexico with a historical feel.
