- Where to Travel in November
Mexico is the best place to travel in November if you want to get swept up in the Day of the Dead festivities. You can also savour the last of Europe’s fine weather or head to South America for the start of its summer.
MEXICO
Join the Day of the Dead festivities
Mexico’s Day of the Dead festivities in Romerillo begins on 1 November, when offerings are made to loved ones who have passed away. At this time of year, the rains have mostly stopped, and the temperature is pleasant for adventures across the country, such as exploring the incredible Maya site of Chichén Itzá or venturing into the jungles and beaches of the Yucatán. So why not visit Mexico and watch the colourful parade on our Mexico: Maya, Aztecs & Conquistadors Day of the Dead Festival (Oaxaca)? View all Mexico trips here

PORTUGAL
Cycle beautiful and quiet trails
In late autumn, bright weather is typically still lingering in Portugal, and we think it’s one of the best places to travel in November. From Lisbon to the Algarve, the temperature sits comfortably around 18 °C this month, making it perfect for biking, hiking, sightseeing, and generally being outdoors. The summer crowds are long gone, which means that the cities and golden beaches you’ll find along the way on our Lisbon to Algarve Ride and the ancient flower-lined levadas in tropical Madeira are all yours.

SICILY
Discover the island’s cultural sites
It may be low season on the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, but that’s no reason to stay away. Exploring the sights and ruins at their quietest makes for a more peaceful experience than when the summer tourists throng. The weather is still pleasantly warm but not too hot, making it ideal for exploring the Baroque towns of Noto and Ragusa Ibla and fascinating archaeological sites in Selinunte and Syracuse. Visit in November on our Treasures of Sicily or Sicily Grand Tour trips. View all Sicily trips here

CHILE
Visit Chile when it’s bright and sunny
It’s nearing the end of spring in Chile and Patagonia is in full bloom. If you’re keen on covering plenty of ground with visits to the Atacama salt flats in the North and the glaciers of Patagonia and Petrohue Falls in the far south, our Discover Chile trip has departures in November when the days are longer and warmer. Or take a deeper dive into the wonders of Torres del Paine National Park on our Patagonian Highlights trip. View all Chile trips here

SRI LANKA
The best time for whale watching
In November, temperatures in Sri Lanka remain warm and pleasant, averaging between 24-30°C. It also marks the beginning of whale watching season off the coast of Dondra Head near Mirissa – arguably one of the best places in the world to view whales. From November to April, you have a high chance of seeing blue and sperm whales alongside friendly pods of bottlenose dolphins and other marine wildlife on our Discover Sri Lanka trip and Cycle the Backroads of Sri Lanka.
