Why Mexico City?

Why remote workers choose Mexico City

CDMX sits at UTC-6, giving you full business-day overlap with US East and West Coast. The city's creative economy has driven a café and coworking scene that rivals any European capital. Fiber penetration in upscale colonias (Condesa, Roma, Polanco) is excellent.

Best months to visit: Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr · Mild year-round due to altitude (2,240m). Rainy season June–October brings afternoon showers.
