7 destinations where you can travel in March

Here are some ways to explore:

1. HAVANA, CUBA

Hard to resist the sunny call of Havana after months of snow and ice. At the time of writing, there are round-trip tickets around $ 550 for mid-March. Sip a mojito in Old Havana, lose yourself in the streets of Centro, go see the sunset on the Malecón and enjoy hidden restaurants with quaint charm. Need your annual dose of white sand? There are beautiful beaches (Playas del Este) about twenty kilometers from the historic center.

1. SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

Count on temperatures around 20 ° C, in March, in this southern California city, as well as on the bargains of the low season. On the program: soak up the relaxed atmosphere of the surroundings, explore the many beaches, enjoy Mexican cuisine, discover plenty of microbreweries and, of course, put on a wetsuit to learn about surfing. The ocean will be rather cold, but it is never hot in the corner anyway. Go!

1. COSTA RICA

Even though it is the peak tourist season, March is a good time to visit Costa Rica, since it is the dry season and there is usually a way to find reasonable prices (like a house for 12 people in 175 $ per night or a casita perched for 2 people at $ 65 a night on Airbnb). A winning itinerary to do in 4 X 4? The Arenal volcano, the cloud forest of Monteverde, the amazing waterfall of the Rio Celeste and a chill final at the edge of the Pacific Montezuma or Mal Pais, in the peninsula of Nicoya.

1. THE PALAWAN ARCHIPELAGO, PHILIPPINES

The island of Palawan and the 1800 other islands and islets that make up the archipelago of the same name are certainly one of the most popular destinations in the Philippines. Why? Because of their sublime waters, their beaches, their caves and their lagoons, but mostly and simply because of their dream landscapes "in the Jurassic Park", to use the words of Rough Guides. Mars is a good time of the year to go there since it corresponds to the dry season, but you have to like the sun and the temperatures exceeding 30 ° C, even the 35 ° C (perfect if you want our opinion!) .

1. BARCELONA, ​​SPAIN

As we know, Barcelona has become a victim of its popularity and receives a lot of tourists during the summer. To avoid the crowds and taste its contagious dynamism, why not go there at the very beginning of spring? You will have to put a cross on the beach, but it will still be around 15 ° C (according to the averages of Accuweather), which is good enough to enjoy the works of Gaudí, museums, tapas and nights that never end.

1. KAUAI, HAWAII

Hawaii is not a super-economical destination, but the price of airline tickets is often affordable from Montreal, which is always surprising given the distance. For the month of March (next year, at worst!), We suggest Kauai Island, the greenest and wildest of the archipelago. It will average 25 ° C and it will be in between seasons, with its more moderate prices. According to Lonely Planet, it's a good time to surf, see whales (even from the shore) and enjoy local festivals. Combine with beaches, poke bowls and hikes!

1. MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

Located 2250 m above sea level, the gigantic Mexican capital is rather cool in winter and rainy in summer. Spring - March and April - is an excellent time to explore its countless neighborhoods, bars, restaurants and museums; in fact, it is the hottest season (around 25 ° C). During your stay, do not miss to leave the city to visit the pyramids of Teotihuacán, vestiges left by the fascinating civilization of the same name.
