FAQs

What kind of clothes to wear in Cancun Mexico? ›

You are not allowed to bring food, fruits and/or products that are not "company" packed and sealed. And if you are bringing food or products they are allowed only if you need them because of a special diet or for medical reasons. The same rule applies to medicine.

You'll still want to dress casually so as to not call too much touristy attention to yourself. A mid-length sundress or cute shirt and jeans combo would be the perfect outfit. One of the most important essentials you can pack when visiting Mexico is sunscreen.

In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention on your vacation, you can wear long skirts made of lighter material, light-weight pants or jeans, and tops that are not very revealing. However, for the areas around beaches, like Cancun, you can definitely wear shorts and tank tops.

Wear lots of layers!!!

I like to wear clothes with lots of layers so that I can easily adjust what I'm wearing if it's hot or cold. I usually wear both a scarf and jacket to the airport with a light T-shirt or dress underneath, so that I can take both of them off once I arrive.

As it turns out, wearing sandals in Mexico City is odd. In fact, it is considered unusual. Sandals are often chosen for special events, frequently along with beach activities or vacations. Wearing them in public, especially in a crowded city like Mexico City, is comparable to glaring out like a sore thumb.

Light clothing, such as T-shirts, tank tops, shorts, sundresses and lightweight pants. Flip-flops, sandals, and comfortable walking shoes for exploring. Sun protection, including sunscreen, sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to shield you from the strong sun. Reusable water bottle.

Many resorts will offer beach towels but to avoid having to rent a beach towel or pay for a beach club it's a good idea to pack a quick-dry towel for Cancún. These are usually compact so they take up less than the space of a pair of jeans. They also come in handy on daytrips like swimming in the cenotes.

Should I carry my passport with me in Cancun? ›

Mexican immigration authorities could ask you to present both your passport and entry permit if applicable at any point and may detain you while they review your immigration status if you are not carrying your passport and proof of legal status in Mexico, or if you have overstayed your authorized stay.

The most common traditional Mexican garments are the huipil, a loose-fitting tunic worn by women; the sarape, a colorful woolen blanket-like shawl worn by men; and the sombrero, a wide-brimmed hat that protects the wearer from the sun. Long, flowing skirts have also been a staple of Mexican fashion for centuries.

Most public bathrooms don't have toilet paper. That means that you always want to make sure you have some toilet paper on you when you're traveling. In fact, traveling with out TP is one of our top things not to do in Mexico. This is especially true if you're on a road trip and stopping in lots of public places.

US Citizens are eligible to travel to Cancun visa-free. However, when entering Mexico via air or a land border, you must present a Tourist Card upon entry AND exit. The Tourist Card, Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), is an Entry Immigration Form that details information about foreign tourists visiting Mexico.

How much money should I carry around Cancun? In our experience, we recommend to always carry with you the equivalent of 150 Dollars in Pesos. Always try to pay for public transportation in Pesos because most likely, the buses won't give you change if you pay in Dollars.

Whilst you may want to see what dining options are included, you should also take the time to browse through the amenities and things that you can do within the resort. This can include luxury spa treatments, evening shows, live music, watersports, games, and other daytime activities.

Pesos, being the national currency of Mexico, will be accepted absolutely anywhere. US dollars will be accepted throughout the Cancun Hotel Zone, but the further you venture into 'real Mexico' the more problems you may find in using USD for everyday purchases.
