Medical Information for Mexico

Major cities such as Mexico City have adequate medical care available, but training and availability of emergency responders will not be up to U.S. standards, and care is very limited in more remote areas. For a list of hospitals with English-speaking staff, please visit: Mexico Embassy

For updated health information, including health travel alerts and immunizations, please visit Mexico specific website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Money Matters

Mexico’s currency is the Mexican Peso. ATMs are widely available, and Master Card and Visa are widely accepted by businesses catering to tourists. Smaller stores will require local currency for transactions. For up-to-date information on the local conversion rate, please visit a reputable currency converter website such as OANDA which also offers an app for smartphones.

Weather

Mexico touches both the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific, and each coast has its own weather patterns. April and May are Mexico City’s hottest months, and January and February are the coolest. Dry season lasts November to May, followed by significant rain from December to April. September sees the highest humidity in Mexico City. Coastal areas tend to be hot and humid, while central Mexico is more temperate.
