RECOMMENDED TYPE OF CLOTHING
Appropriate attire is casual, comfortable and beachy. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes (at least two pairs). It is also advisable to have swimming supplies and clothing, if you wish. For holy sites, even in summer, it is advisable to cover up to the knees (that is, without shorts), arms and shoulders (shirts), and, in some places, cover the head with some type of mantilla, shawl, or handkerchief. If you want to dress in shorts and/or sleeveless, always have a “modest” alternative to cover up when necessary. Hats are essential in hot weather and in places with beaches. Although it is a tropical climate, a light jacket is needed for the evenings and maybe a little rain. Wear appropriate clothing if you are baptized, as well as if you are renewing your marriage vows. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen!
