Clothing.- An intermediate climate throughout the year allows us to bring light clothing, as well as a jacket or warm garment in case we visit high altitude areas. Don’t forget sunglasses, as well as some elegant clothing for the evening and finally, a raincoat.

Recommended time to travel.- Thanks to the pleasant temperature that the country enjoys, any time of the year is good to visit it.

Hospitals.- There are quality hospitals, with good doctors and perfectly equipped, but assistance has a very high cost, therefore, it is essential to take out travel insurance that includes the widest possible health coverage.

Electrical appliances.- The electric current is 110 volts at 60 Hz and the plugs are flat pins, so it is best to bring an adapter.

Money.- The official currency of Mexico is the peso, and you can exchange dollars or euros in banks and hotels, although exchange offices are the ones that offer the best conditions.

Business hours.- Office hours are usually Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and banks are open from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays until 2 p.m.

Shopping.- Mexico is a paradise for handicrafts, where you can find all kinds of textile, basketry, wood, ceramic and pottery items.

Tips.- The usual tip recommended in restaurants and bars is 10% and bellboys 1 or 2 dollars per bag.

Haggling.- Haggling is an art form among the country’s merchants, so it is necessary to do it or at least try to do it, to get a good price.

Security.- The most touristic cities and areas, except Acapulco, do not have security problems, beyond taking certain precautions that common sense dictates.

Passport control at the airport.- Upon returning, you must present the immigration receipt that you fill out at the entrance. Be very careful not to lose it.
