The temperature in the mountains can change quite a bit from the day into the evening, so be sure to pack things you can layer and take on and off easily. A few light jackets and long-sleeved shirts are recommended! You should also pack a couple pairs of shoes that are good for walking, since you’ll want to spend your days hiking, shopping and exploring the town.
