The evenings are filled with indulging in some great Mexican food and dancing to the sounds of the live band playing at the Marimba Park in the downtown area. Don’t watch your clock as you join in with the locals and dance the night away.

Best time to visit Tuxtla Gutiérrez

There’s never a bad time to visit the southern Mexican city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez as it’s always sunny. Summer in the city (June to August) can get excessively hot and humid though (the city is situated in a valley) so perhaps it would be best to visit between December and February, as the temperatures are slightly cooler. The Mayan Ruins are a very popular attraction and can get crowded over this winter period. Also, as it is winter in the rest of its neighbouring countries, such as the USA and Canada, tourists tend to visit sunny Mexico during this time. For cheap flights to Tuxtla Gutiérrez, consider visiting in the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November).
