What you gain in November
- ↑Día de Muertos (1–2 November): Mexico's most important cultural ceremony — the cemetery vigils in Mixquic, Xochimilco's canal processions, and the ofrenda altars throughout the city constitute one of the most moving collective experiences available to any traveller anywhere in the world
- ↑Dry season restored: 13mm of rain across the month, 7.3 hours of sunshine, and clear mountain views returning — the best photography conditions since April
- ↑The Grande Parade de Muertos along Paseo de la Reforma: since 2016, the city has staged a spectacular Day of the Dead parade with floats, Catrina costumes, and performers that rivalled anything in the James Bond movie that inspired it
What you sacrifice
- ↓Día de Muertos weekend (1–2 November) brings the largest international tourist influx of the year: accommodation books out months ahead and hotel rates spike to their annual peak
- ↓The Mixquic cemetery vigil requires arriving early and staying late — it is deeply respectful and non-commercial, but it is also extremely crowded and requires transport planning
- ↓8°C overnight lows from mid-November: the full dry-season return also brings cold nights — pack accordingly for the cemetery vigil
