Spring runs from March to May, then summer from June to August and autumn from September to November. The most important thing for us is that winter in Mexico is from December to February.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when it snows in some parts of the country. Areas that tend to experience snow and cold temperatures are mainly <strong>in the northern part of the country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you know that twelve of Mexico&#8217;s thirty-two states experience snowfall?<\/strong>  Some mountain peaks and volcanoes can also receive up to 10 inches of snow in the winter months.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Snow destinations in Mexico<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monterreal in Coahuila<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Probably the only ski area in the country is located in the municipality of Arteaga, only 15 km from downtown Saltillo. The main runway is 230 meters long and is considered &#8220;blue level&#8221; due to its steepness. There is also a 145-meter-long toboggan run.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mexiquillo in Durango<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The spectacular landscape of the Durango forest, completely covered with snow, is revealed in this natural park, which we tell you all about here. The option here is to camp, so you will have to take the necessary precautions and carry everything you need to survive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sombrerete in Zacatecas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At more than 2,300 meters above sea level, the east of Zacatecas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gob.mx\/sectur\/articulos\/pueblos-magicos-206528\"><br \/>\n  <strong>Magical Town <\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>of Zacatecas becomes even more enchanting when the snow falls. Perhaps one of the few places where you can walk through a snowy place, take advantage of it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chepe in Chihuahua<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More than a destination, the Chihuahua-Pacific Railroad is an experience. Board Mexico&#8217;s last passenger train in winter and discover breathtaking snowy landscapes on its journey from Barrancas del Cobre, in Chihuahua, to Los Mochis, Sinaloa.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Snow-capped volcanoes tourist destinations<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mexico&#8217;s volcanoes are possibly <strong>the snowiest places<\/strong> you can access in the country, if you are looking for a completely natural and adventurous plan. Pack a tent, sleeping bag, blankets, food and warm clothes, because the cold in these places is no joke.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Orizaba Peak<\/strong><strong> o Citlalt\u00e9petl<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that Pico de Orizaba is the highest mountain in Mexico? has one of the most spectacular snowy landscapes, but this adventure is reserved for those who do not suffer from any kind of vertigo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nevado de Toluca<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The name of this natural sanctuary in the heights reveals it, it is one of the best places to enjoy the snow in Mexico. It is very close to Mexico City!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that they are two of<strong> Mexico&#8217;<\/strong>s<strong> greatest natural wonders<\/strong>. It is important to remember that, unlike the other volcanoes on the list, these are not for beginners and are best explored only if you already have some experience, especially Popocatepetl.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>La Malinche<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Located next to the Puebla-Tlaxcala Valley, this national park welcomes climbers and hikers all year round, but its beauty is especially remarkable when it is covered in white.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tulum Mayan Ruins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But if sun, sand and sea are your thing, <strong>a romantic getaway with your partner is what you are looking for to warm up in winter,<\/strong> then the Riviera Maya is the place to be. Located south of Cancun, the Riviera Maya is a coastal section that extends for approximately 65 kilometers between the cities of Playa del Carmen and Tulum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As Cancun developed and filled with resorts, the Riviera Maya became a less crowded escape with the same sublime beaches. And while the Riviera Maya is no longer a secret, the region has a greater focus on<strong> conservation and sustainable tourism <\/strong>to protect the delicate local ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Playa del Carmen <\/strong>is one of the most popular cities in the area, but other cities where you can stay are <strong>Tulum and Akumal<\/strong>. All of them are located in the Caribbean Sea, which is ideal for snorkeling and diving in crystal clear waters with all kinds of marine life, from colorful fish to sea turtles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A short drive away, you can visit the Mayan ruins or the famous cenotes, an extensive subway cave system where visitors can swim.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wherever you are planning your next vacation, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelxcapes.com\/en\/\"><br \/>\n  <strong>Travel Xcapes<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a> is your <em>travel agency<\/em>, book your travel destination with us and get the experience of a lifetime.
