The best time to go to Tonalá is during the dry season, which runs from November to May.
During these months, you'll experience pleasant weather with less humidity and virtually no rain, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty and archaeological sites. Temperatures are comfortably warm, typically ranging from 25°C to 30°C. This period is superb for outdoor activities like visiting the nearby beaches or hiking in the surrounding areas.
The shoulder months of November and May are particularly good for travellers seeking a balance of good weather and fewer crowds. You'll find it easier to book accommodations and tours, and the local attractions will be less busy. This allows for a more relaxed and personal experience, whether you're visiting the beaches of Puerto Arista or exploring the local markets.
The wet season, from June to October, brings higher humidity and daily afternoon downpours, which can sometimes be heavy. While the landscape is lush and green during this time, the rain can disrupt outdoor plans.
