1. Bring clothes that are appropriate for the weather. Various regions in Mexico have different weather, so you might as well make sure the condition of the place where you are supposed to go. For example, those that are located in elevated areas such as the Central Plateau would be a lot colder than those places in the plains. Hence, you may want to stock on jackets and pants that will keep you warm during nighttime. The months of September until December can also be pretty cold too.



2. Don't forget the sleeping bags or pads. There are several facilities for backpackers and transient travelers in Mexico, where accommodation can be really cheap. However, they may lack the necessary amenities, including sleeping pads or bags. If you choose to stay here, you better make sure that you can bring these essentials, or else, you'll be sleeping uncomfortably on the floor. But if you want to feel pampered, relaxed, and unstressed when traveling to Mexico, you better save some money for a good stay in a hotel, such as Grupo Mayan. It features first-class facilities and huge room for a reasonable price.

3. Keep your cameras ready. You may leave all your jewelry behind your room, but don't forget to keep the camera close to you when you're out on a tour. Almost every town in Mexico has something to offer to a traveler like you. The best way to preserve those memories is to take those snapshots. Just so you don't have to go scrambling for more films, use a digital camera, with a microSD that has huge capacity. This way, it's going to be just endless clicking.

4. Get rid of too-revealing dresses. Unless you're hitting the beach, keep those tank tops, small T-shirts, and shorts in your bag first. A lot of people in Mexico are staunch Catholics, which deem these dresses inappropriate to wear. What's more, your trip may include visits to some of their oldest churches. You don't want to offend them by donning on these types of clothes. Avoid bringing shirts with offensive language or drawing printed on them. Even if you're the guest, you still want to remain respectful to the culture and personalities of the Mexicans.

5. Don on comfortable shoes and slippers. Surely, there will be a lot of walking that you're going to do in Mexico, so high-heeled shoes and stilettos should be reserved for your night-out only. Pack at least one rubber shoes and a slipper, which you can use when you're going to the beach.

6. Bring cash. ATMs have their own schedules for refills, and you don't want to end up living a day without any money to spend. Thus, bring a good amount of cash with you. If you're staying in a hotel, you can select to store it in their safety deposit box.
