The best packing lists for Mexico

Mexico is really several destinations at once: highlands above 2,000 metres, a tropical south, a dry north and two coastlines. Combine a few regions and you are packing for three climates, which means a jacket even on a trip that starts at the beach.

Good to know for Mexico

Most rain falls between June and October, usually as a heavy afternoon burst that clears again. From November to May the bulk of the country stays dry. Mountain evenings turn cold once the sun is down, while coastal nights stay warm and sticky.

Sockets are US-style types A and B at 127 volts. Prices are in pesos; cards work well in cities, but markets, shared taxis and food stalls run on small banknotes. Tap water is not for drinking, and refill stations are easy to find.

People underestimate the ruins. Chichen Itza or Teotihuacan offer no shade and uneven stone underfoot, so bring a hat, solid shoes and more water than feels necessary. Churches expect covered shoulders.
