People often greet with a friendly 'hola' or a handshake in formal situations; a brief polite greeting when entering a shop or market is customary.

Use 'por favor' and 'gracias'—basic courtesy goes a long way. Respect elders and local norms, especially near churches and during religious events.

Bargaining is common at informal markets (tianguis) but not in supermarkets or formal stores. Be friendly when negotiating and expect modest discounts rather than large haggles.

Dress casually but modestly for everyday activities. Avoid loud behavior in residential streets late at night and be mindful of noise around family homes.

Tipping is appreciated: 10–15% in restaurants if service is not included, a few pesos for bartenders or small tips for street vendors is less common but permitted. Round up taxi fares or add a small tip for helpful drivers and hotel staff.

Cash (pesos) is widely used, especially at markets, fondas and small shops. Many restaurants and larger stores accept cards and mobile payments, but always carry some cash for taxis, buses and small vendors. ATMs are common in commercial areas; take usual precautions when withdrawing cash.

Hotter weather with afternoon highs often in the high 20s–30s °C (mid-80s–90s °F) and strong sun; afternoons can bring short, heavy rain showers during the rainy season (roughly June–September). Carry sun protection and an umbrella for sudden downpours.

Expect daily afternoon storms that may cause temporary flooding on low-lying streets and slow traffic; plan outdoor activities for mornings and keep waterproof footwear handy.

Mild, pleasant temperatures and lower rainfall make these ideal times for walking and exploring; mornings can be cool so a light jacket is useful.

Cooler, dry weather with chilly mornings and evenings—daytime can still be comfortable. On rare clear days you may see crisp views of distant volcanoes; pack layers for night and early morning.
