México
Mexico has become one of the most popular destinations for digital nomads in the world. Pleasant weather almost year-round, reasonable cost of living, high-speed internet available in most major cities, rich and diverse culture, and very active international communities make Mexico the perfect place to work remotely.
Mexico has several competitive advantages as a destination for remote work. The time zone is compatible with most American and Canadian companies, making virtual meetings easier. The cost of living allows significant savings compared to living in the US or Europe. And the quality of life — with incredible gastronomy, vibrant culture and extraordinary nature — is hard to beat.
The capital is the number one option for digital nomads in Mexico. It has the best technological infrastructure in the country, the largest number of coworking spaces, the widest variety of restaurants and cafes with fast WiFi, and a huge and very active international community. Roma Norte and Condesa are the favorite neighborhoods, with dozens of specialty cafes with excellent internet connection.

Its unique combination of extraordinary nature — cenotes, Mayan jungle, white sand beaches — with a rapidly growing tech infrastructure makes it irresistible. Aldea Zama has the highest concentration of coworking spaces and cafes with good connection. The trade-off is that internet can be less stable than in CDMX.
