Lovely!

In the winter (November - April) daytime highs are usually 25-30°C (80's°F) and nighttime lows are 20-25°C (70's°F) with almost no precipitation. In the summer (May - October) highs are in the 30-37°C (90s°F) and lows are 25-30°C (80's°F), with increased humidity and tropical storms.

Rarely does it get below 21°C (70°F), so you can leave your cold weather clothing behind!

A lot or nothing at all, your choice!

La Playa Troncones (the beach) is of course the biggest attraction around. If nothing else, the most important thing to do while visiting Troncones is to take a walk on the beach at sunset.

We get some absolutely gorgeous sunsets.

Grocery shopping in Troncones can be limited. We recommend stopping for basic supplies at the big supermarket in Zihuatanejo on your way from the airport. Mega Soriana is a one-stop-shop where you can purchase groceries and exchange currency. We recommend stocking up on things like beer/wine/liquor, pork and beef, cheeses, dietary restricted foods and any pharmacy items you may need. These items are either hard to come by or are going to be more expensive in Troncones.

However, once you're here you don't need to go all the way back into Zihua to find groceries. There are several small stores in the village that stock basic items. The local organic and artisan market is across the street at Tres Mujeres every Thursday morning. Troncones Tortilleria churns out delicious fresh made tortillas daily. There's a local produce truck that drives by most days throughout the high season. And Troncones boasts the freshest seafood around! We highly recommend grabbing your fresh fish or shrimp from the seafood truck that passes by nearly every morning. You can also head over to Mahajua in the morning and try catching the fishermen as they come in.

If you don't want to dine in at a restaurant but don't feel like cooking a big meal yourself, many of the small food shops will pack up their food to go, just ask!

Troncones, while growing, is still a small town where the locals all know eachother and everyone looks out for one another. We feel perfectly safe leaving doors unlocked and walking around town at night. People are very friendly here and will point you in the right direction if you get lost. In fact, you are much safer walking around Troncones than you are walking around most major US cities.

Having said that, there are pockets of Mexico that are dangerous to travel through. We don't recommend driving up into the mountainous regions or driving from town to town at night unless you have experience traveling throughout Mexico. Using common sense, as all world travelers should, will keep you out of most trouble.

We recommend checking with your country's Foreign Affairs Department for up to date travel restrictions and advice.
