Awesome guide. I am thinking about doing a month long backpacking trip of Mexico and Guatemala. I would like to do both the northern and southern backpacking routes in Mexico that you recommended. Would it be possible to do them both in 20 days and then have 10 days in Guatemala?

Love the posts! Very informative 🙂
Interested to know how long you spent in Mexico and/or how long you’d recommend to spend time in the places on the map?

I know this will vary on a few things!

In reply to Mitzi. The sunny/dry season runs until April, though even the months after that should be mostly fine. (Bad weather is mainly in aug-oct, though depends per country.) I'm happy my guides have proven useful!

Thanks so much for getting back to me!
Since I wrote this I’ve realised (due to extensive reading of your guides..) that I’m going to need at least two months to see everything. So I’m planning to head out late January/early February for an indefinite length of time (probably until April)! Would the climate be good this time of year also?
Thanks again for all you help. The guides are incredible.

In reply to Mitzi.

Six weeks is a good amount of time for seeing a lot in Central America. I would probably play it by ear though in terms of how many countries you can cover. For instance you can easily spend 2 weeks just going down from Mexico City (without rushing), 2 weeks in Guatemala, etc. If you’re dead set on getting all the way to Panama you might exhaust yourself or miss out on stuff along the way.

Climate wise all should be good in Nov/Dec. I’ve been in the region during this time of year as well and it’s a perfect time to visit.

Good luck with your trip!

Hi Marek!
I’d put aside six weeks to travel from Mexico City as far down Central America as possible then flying inland back to Mexico City and IF I had enough time doing the Copper Canyon before heading home.
After reading this I’m not sure six weeks is going to be enough time! What do you think?
Also would all of November and a few weeks at the start of December be a good time of year weather-wise? If not when do you recommend?
Cheers for your help!

Hi, i beleave that you can spend less then 25 USD per day here! Take a bike and tour around by your self , eat some where in the road, nearby local people and sleep in small guesthouse with your travel mate
