Things to Pack
Mexico can be a formal country, particularly in matters of dress, so wearing the right clothes is important. You are not expected to dress like the locals but out of politeness, it is nice to dress a little formally, trousers, a nice shirt, blouses and skirts, especially on evenings out. Full blown tourist costumes have been known to draw unwanted attention, though of course this is less true at beach locations.
As the temperature can get rather hot, jeans can be uncomfortable, especially in humid locations, so comfortable light trousers are advisable. The sun can be extremely powerful so sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat may be another good addition to your luggage. You’ll want to pack appropriate to the weather conditions of the place you plan on visiting.
All of the upper altitude and inland locations we recommend experience micro-climate conditions and so quick but very heavy downpours of rain can happen with little notice. These are usually refreshing and dramatic events, but travelers who’ve packed an umbrella or raincoat tend to enjoy them a bit more.
