Tips for Planning your Mexico Yoga Vacation
Although the climate varies across the country, the best time to take a yoga retreat in Mexico is generally in the cooler, dry season between November – April. This is also the peak tourist season.
Mexico has over 100 airports, many of which operate international flights. You’ll find airports in Mexico City, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Oaxaca and Puerto Escondido.
The best airport for you will depend on the location of your chosen retreat center. Contact your retreat organiser to learn the nearest airport to the retreat centre. Many of the best yoga retreats in Mexico offer airport transfers included in the package.
The network of modern, air conditioned ADO buses are also a safe and comfortable way to get around if you want to combine your retreat with exploring more of this vast, beautiful country.
