Best Time to Visit

If you are not part of the spring break crowd or want to avoid tourists, the best time to visit Los Cabos is from May to June. The tourists who come looking for the sun during the winter will be gone, and the ones who want to spend their time here during the summer holidays have yet to hit. During the summer time, from July till September, it's hurricane season, and it's very hot and humid. If you are a fan of whale-watching, book your trip for between December and March.

Passport / Visa

Visa exemption applies to citizens of all EU countries, most countries in the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and more. Both tourists and business visitors from these countries may stay in Mexico for up to 180 days. For Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian passport holders, electronic authorisation (SAE) is required, which then grants travellers from these countries the right of a single entry followed by a stay of up to 30 days. Please consult an official source/consulate in your home country for the latest information on visa requirements. When travelling to Mexico, you will need to fill out a Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), which is essentially a visitor’s permit for Mexico. All travellers are encouraged to do so online prior to travel, and present the printed out document upon entering the country.
