CLOTHING
We recommend you bring the following items in a small duffel bag, suitcase or backpack: (Keep in mind that temperatures change throughout the day. Having layers you can add/remove as needed tends to work best!)
● Comfortable Walking/Hiking Shoes – Broken-in, midweight, with decent traction.
● Active AND Casual Shirts – Moisture retention (cotton) can help cool you down on hot days, while non-cotton shirts tend to be more breathable. Consider short and long sleeve shirts, for varied sun protection, and don’t forget to bring some nicer options for when we venture out for meals in the evenings.
● Warm Tops – Mid-weight wicking layer (fleece, merino wool, or polypropylene sweater), AND heavier-weight insulating “puffy” jacket (something that will keep you warm if we have a chilly evening).
● Active AND Casual Pants/Skirts – Comfy, breathable pants, leggings, or skirts. Mexico is a little more formal than you might think. Have some longer options for our activities and for going out to nicer meals.
● Sun Protection – Such as Sun Hat, Sun Glasses, Lip Balm, Sunscreen, and/or Bandana.
