When is the best time for singles to travel to South and Central American destinations?
There are certain times of the year when travel to Mexico, Central America and South America may be relatively better, and a lot of that has to do with the weather. When you're talking about South America, especially those countries below the equator, keep in mind that the seasons are the reverse of ours. In other words, if it's Summer here, it's Winter there. It's very easy to take a ski vacation in the southern hemisphere in July, which is an unusual thing to do from the United States. In Central America there are rainy seasons that you need to be aware of. Some of them can be long and significant, so it can be very worthwhile to take a look at climatological data. Mexico is another interesting place. Obviously the desert regions in the interior of Mexico are always going to be welcoming and warm. You should avoid perhaps the Cancun, Merida, and Yucatan Peninsula during hurricane season. Again, that's an individual choice. The west coast of Mexico will also have a certain season to it - times when it's significantly warmer, significantly drier. You should take a look at the weather and make sure that you don't run afoul of any of the seasons, which can be trickier than in the United States.
