Bring cash for markets
Many market stalls and small shops accept only pesos and small bills—carry MXN 200–500 for souvenirs and snacks.
Wear supportive shoes
Cobbled streets, church steps, and uneven plaza surfaces mean closed‑toe shoes with good grip will keep you comfortable.
Sun protection matters
High valley sun is strong even on cool mornings—hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are recommended.
Mind local customs in churches
Speak softly, avoid flash photography in chapels, and follow posted rules near altarpieces and murals.
Comfortable walking shoes
Protects ankles on cobbles and provides traction for chapel steps.
Refillable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated through long walking segments and market browsing.
Sun hat & sunscreen
High‑altitude sun can be intense; protect skin and eyes during outdoor stops.
Light jacket or shawl
Useful for cooler mornings and to cover shoulders inside churches.
