Planning Considerations

Traveling from December to February means consistently dry conditions across all three cities — rain is rarely more than a couple of days per month anywhere on this route. The real variable is temperature, especially overnight: average lows sit around 7-8°C in Mexico City and Puebla in January, cool enough to need a real jacket after dark, even as afternoons stay mild. All three cities sit high above sea level — roughly 1,555m in Oaxaca City to 2,240m in Mexico City — so temperatures swing more between day and night, and across the year, than their latitude alone would suggest. Pack layers for cool mornings and evenings even on an otherwise warm, dry day. Weather patterns can vary significantly year to year, so conditions may differ from historical averages.

What This Depends On

• Your flexibility: If you can adjust dates by a week, you may catch better weather
• Your priorities: Outdoor plans vs. indoor experiences — decide what matters more for your timing
• Your budget: Traveling outside this dry-season window often costs less, but weather is far less predictable
