Mexico

We track 2 cities in Mexico. The mid-range shoulder-season day averages $289 — 4% above the median across all 68 cities we cover. Inside the country the range runs from $236/day in Mexico City to $342/day in Cancún, a 31% gap: wide enough that city choice materially changes the daily number.

Accommodation accounts for 51% of the average mid-range day in Mexico, the largest single line item in every city we track here. Mexico City (altitude, archaeology, an unrivalled kitchen) sits at the affordable end; Cancún (caribbean turquoise and limestone cenotes) anchors the top.

Season coefficients are calibrated per city, not shared. Across Mexico the peak-to-low swing runs 29%–72%, widest in Cancún (72%, tropical dry-season peak pattern: low May–Jun, Sep–Oct at ×0.76, peak Jan–Feb, Dec at ×1.31). Demand follows the dry season and the northern winter escape; the wet months discount hard because arrivals fall, not because supply shrinks.
