So pack accordingly. Women here wear strappy sandals with everything and no stockings. Also because it does rain much of the year, and because neither taxis nor colectivos have air conditioning, hair-dos should be kept simple. Either very short or long enough to pull up into a ponytail or twist into place with a colorful clip. No carefully constructed sets sprayed into place, please.
Older women wear skirts and blouses or dresses.
Special favorites, appropriate everywhere you go, are long slip-dresses with spaghetti straps. And they work with a shawl for nights out on the town. Please don t bring shorts. They will only offend the locals wherever you go. Also no shorts, please.
