About Chihuahua

The city of Chihuahua is the Capital of the State with the same name, located at the northern part of the country, bordering with the USA states of Texas and Arizona. The city has a very irregular form due its located inside a valley surrounded by several mountain ranges.

Even the snow is a very sporadic event. There are, average, two days with snow per year, but can be years without snow and other with even six days with snow on the coldest months (December – February), ideal if you want to see snow landscapes in the surroundings. When April arrives, the hot day starts but the nights are still with frozen temperatures due the cold fronts from the north, so even if it’s hot don’t forget to pack your coat. From May to June are the hottest months with temperatures up to 100°F; the rainy months are from July to September with storms and hail so the outdoors activities are not recommended on this season.
