First of all, bring a positive state of mind and the intention of having a good time.
Regardless of what the thermometer reads while you are packing, include a bathing suit, sun screen/lotion, sun glasses and loose, comfortable clothing made of natural fibers. Do not forget your Bermuda shorts and some baggy shirts, to wear in the evenings as you relax under the palm trees are lulled the enchantment of this a tropical, moon-lit night.
Men traveling to attend a conference, or for business reasons, may need to bring a jacket and a tie. Some events, depending the type, may require a tuxedo for the men and an evening dress for the women. On certain, less-formal occasions, a white suit or a linen guayabera may be adequate. For cool evenings (from November through February), a light jacket will suffice for the women. In the mountains a light jacket is desirable.
Don’t forget to bring your camera and video-recorder. The area of the colonial city that is studded with monuments offers tremendously beautiful sceneries-- flower-covered balconies and panoramic views – from which fabulous effects of high contrast may be achieved.
There is also a dazzling spectacle that you may capture as an indelible memorabilia of your visit – one place that still inspires artists, painters and photographers. It is offered to us by an extraordinary miracle of nature during the spring when the red foliage of the flamboyant in bloom covers the countryside and cities.
