Mexico Highlands
Colonial cities, eternal spring, and dramatic mountains — your guide to the Mexican Highlands.
Our take on the Mexican Highlands
-
Flair
Colorful facades, colonial charm, and the real Mexico — this is central Mexico at its most authentic.
-
Best time to visit
October through May is the sweet spot — pleasant temperatures and far less rain than the summer months.
-
How long to stay
Two to three weeks is ideal for doing justice to Mexico City, Puebla, and the wider highlands.
-
Price level
Seriously affordable compared to the Caribbean coast — your money goes much further here.
-
Food
Don't leave without trying Enchiladas Mineras and fresh Gorditas from the market stalls. Really good.
-
Getting around
Uber works well in the cities. For day trips into the surrounding areas, colectivos are cheap and totally reliable.
