When to visit
San Luis Potosí can be visited at any time of the year and there is always something for families to see and do. However, the period between January and May, along with the months of July, November, and December, are particularly good for a visit. This is because these months have typically lesser precipitation and relatively warmer temperatures, thus offering the opportunity to enjoy both indoor and outdoor attractions in comfortable weather.
Families might like to avoid May, which is the wettest month in the region, for a smoother holiday experience. Moreover, holidays should ideally be planned while respectful of school term times. And while you’re in the area, consider visiting the neighbouring locations of Santa Maria del Rio, San Luis de la Paz, and Rio Verde – they’re just too splendid to miss out on!
