If you are harboring any stereotypes about the weather in Mexico being hot and dry, it would be in your best interest to COMPLETELY IGNORE them. Instead, CLICK HERE to read about the weather in Mazatepec.

For those of you who find it inconvenient to travel with bulky equipment, heavy sleeping bags or raingear, we do have some supplies available to rent on a weekly basis. If possible, please let us know what you will need ahead of time so we can better accommodate you.

If you are planning to come to the farm at ANY time of the year, you should bring...

Clothing for both warm and COLD weather (winter coat, scarf, wool hat, etc.)

RAINGEAR!! (Raincoat and pants, rubber boots, etc.)

Comfortable (and waterproof) hiking shoes

Extra socks

Sunblock

Fortunately, we don´t have a problem with mosquitoes or other nasty blood sucking insects in the Mazatepec area. However, we will be taking a couple day trips to areas where you will probably get bitten by mosquitoes. Personally, I don´t ever use insect repellant, but if you are sensitive (or worried about mosquito-borne illnesses) you may want to bring your favorite bug spray, specifically for those day trips.

Personal items you may want to bring include:

A sturdy water bottle

Flashlight

Biodegradable soap and shampoo

Notebook / Journal / Sketchbook

Books for leisure reading

Musical instrument**

**Please be aware that you are coming to a high-humidity environment! Humidity can cause damage to some instruments!

If you are camping or staying in the cabin, you will need to bring:

WARM sleeping bag and pillow

If you are camping, you will also need:

Waterproof tent with a FULL RAINFLY (one that completely covers the tent) and groundcover
