November to April — Cities run all year; the shoulder months are quieter and cheaper — tropical latitudes run wet and dry rather than four seasons — the dry half of the year brings the clearest skies and the easiest roads. Each place page computes its own window from its exact latitude, so mountain and coastline guides can differ from city guides in the same country.
