We’ve compiled a list of the best spots to visit and things to do in Mexico during June, along with some tips on what to do and see there.
1. Join in the gun at Día de Los Locos (The Day of the Crazies) in San Miguel de Allende,
Held in the picturesque San Miguel de Allende, Dia de los Locos is a grand celebration for the “crazies” in each of us. This great and colorful event promotes the expression of every person’s inner “fool” through comedic acts, elaborate costumes, storytelling, music, and a parade of dancers.
This parade of dancers, featuring “Los Locos” (crazy people) is one of the highlights of the festival, where the people of San Miguel de Allende put on a variety of colorful costumes. At this one-of-a-kind event, you’ll see a gathering of folks dressed as cartoon characters,mythical creatures or famous celebrities.
The revelers then throw candy to spectators while live music plays and bystanders are encouraged to join in the merriment. The celebration of Dia de los Locos takes place every year, on the Sunday that immediately follows the feast day of San Antonio Padua, observed every June 13.
2. Take a day trip to Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeres, is another great place to rest for June, due to its slower pace and calmer atmosphere. You can enjoy yourself by taking a yoga class, visiting Isla Contoy for the day to observe the local wildlife and birds, and touring the island on a rented bike or golf cart. The Playa Norte is an ideal spot for a late-day stroll, with its hammocks and beachfront bars.
Isla Mujeres is also an attractive and exciting vacation spot that won’t break the bank. Even though it would be enjoyable to spend just one day here, it is well worth extending your stay.
There is a broad variety of hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals available on the island if you decide to spend a few days here.

3. Learn history by visiting Mayan ruins.
A visit to Mexico is incomplete without a visit to Mayan ruins, and it’s an exciting experience to add to your June itinerary.
Ancient ruins in Mexico extend back at least 2,500 years, making the country a paradise for history aficionados. Mayan people, along with other indigenous groups, occupied Mexico before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, and the Mayan legacy is firmly ingrained in the identity of the country.
If you don’t want to spend money on a car rental, the easiest way to see the Mayan ruins is on a guided tour. Daily tours to some of Mexico’s most significant archaeological sites are available from Get Your Guide.
Though the Mayan city of Chichen Itza, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, has received the bulk of the attention, Mexico is home to numerous more spectacular and historically significant Mayan ruins, such as Coba, Ek Balam, Palenque, and Uxmal.

4. Visit a Pueblo Magico like Todos Santos
When it comes to little Mexican beach villages, Todos Santos is up there with the finest of them. Todos Santos is one of roughly 135 locations in Mexico to have received the prestigious title of “pueblo magico” (Mexico’s magic town) from the Mexican Secretary of Tourism.
Just 15 minutes outside of Todos Santos, on a peaceful stretch of beach known as Punta Lobos, you’ll find one of the area’s gorgeous beaches.
Stop at El Taller Todos Santos, Nomad Chic, and Etnica if you’re looking for some retail therapy in Todos Santos’s downtown area. When exploring Todos Santos, keep an eye out for the unique and beautiful street art that has become a trademark of the city.
5. Take a dip in cenotes
If you go to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, you should go swimming in one of the cenotes, which are natural sinkholes and caves that are filled with water. The experience of swimming in the cenotes in Mexico cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.
Some cenotes are exposed to the sky and above the ground, and then some cenotes are entirely subterranean and filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Snorkeling is a popular activity at several of Mexico’s cenotes, and some of them even provide diving, like Cenote Dos Ojos, which is located close to Tulum.
There is a cost to enter each cenote, and it must be paid in cash; therefore, you should have some pesos with you. A number of them also, for a nominal price, provide the use of lockers as well as snorkeling gear.

6. Spend an afternoon in Xochimilco
This lakeside community south of Mexico City is famous for its chinampas and the trajinera rides along its canals. This practice date back to the days when the Great Tenochtitlán was a shining city among its waters.
Xochimilco may be the final surviving remnant of the Aztec culture, a place where the old and the modern meet to show that the past and the present can coexist in historical accounts.
You can drive or take public transportation to get to the Xochimilco area from the city’s historic core, which is 26 kilometers distant. If you’re up for an adventure on a trajinera, one of the best times to go is June, when the weather is more stable.

7. Go on a day trip to Tepoztlán
An excellent day trip from Mexico City is to Tepoztlán in Morelos. Only about an hour away, Tepoztlán is one of the 135 or so pueblos mágicos (magical towns) recognized by the Mexican government. With so many pueblo magicos to choose from, Tepoztlán stands out as the home to artists, healers, and those interested in spirituality.
Ascending the Aztec Pyramid of Tepozteco is a must-do for most travelers to this pueblo. This is a challenging hike, but the views are well worth the effort. This mountainside ruin was dedicated to the Aztec god Tepoztcatl, whose drink was held in high esteem by the gods themselves.

Travel Tips for Mexico in June
- Make an effort to behave politely. Despite a reputation for being casual and laid back, Mexicans place a premium on politeness and good manners. In public places, for instance, people will always greet you and use the polite form of your name (“usted,” for those of you unfamiliar with Spanish).
- Dress modestly when you’re out and about in the city. If you’re going to Central Mexico’s cities, you shouldn’t wear short shorts and a tank top. This applies to both men and women. You should pack some pants, medium-length dresses, and other clothing that covers the legs and shoulders to blend in with the locals in larger inland cities.
- Stock up on attire that you can wear in different climates. Chiapas, Oaxaca, Mexico City, and other interior destinations may require a light jacket (and possibly a hat) during the cooler months.Popular tourist spots in the Mexican state of Chiapas, such as San Cristóbal de las Casas in the Sierra Madre Mountains, tend to be colder than those in lowland areas or along the coast.
