Get settled

Your first day in a new country can be a little nerve-wracking so here are a few tips to help you settle in.

Can I drink the water?

No, stick to bottled water and avoid ice, uncooked fruit and vegetables, ice cream and unpasteurized milk.

What’s the 999 number?

Call 066 in an emergency. If you forget this, 911 redirects you to the emergency services in Mexico in most populated areas.

What’s the weather like?

Temperatures range from 36 degrees in summer to 3 degrees in winter and most rain falls in July and August, which make Guanajuato a great Easter holiday destination.

Shall I learn some Spanish before I go?

We recommend you learn some Spanish phrases before you go as many locals don’t speak English very well.

What happens if I get ill whilst on holiday?

Most pharmacies in Guanajuato are well-stocked and open around the clock however we suggest you take your own medical kit too as some medications can be very expensive in Mexico. Don’t forget to take out travel insurance too.
