Air Conditioning is somewhat of a luxury and not always available. Be prepared for the possibility of being without in some areas outside the cities. Due to variables, there are times when you may be without electricity for several hours or more at anytime. In the mountains, you may be totally without, unless there is a generator. During most visits, most men wear long cotton pants and cotton shirt.
Women wear conservative cotton attire, either skirts, dresses or pants.
Shorts are generally seen around the quarters or when at a beach or stream for cleaning. For sleeping, have something very cool and comfortable with without air-conditioning. During construction work, some young men may wear shorts. Coat and ties were rarely seen except in the city business section. Don't Drink the Water.
