Recently I thought about the dilemmas that travelers face when embarking on their next adventure; although searching for the destination is the first important decision, and probably the most relevant one, determining which items will make up our luggage is another crucial decision we must make before each journey.
The accessories and garments you decide to pack depend entirely on your destination, means of transport, duration of your stay, among other factors.
Will I really need this during my trip? What if I need an extra change of clothes? Is my suitcase too big? These are some of the questions we all ask ourselves when packing. So to help you pack the perfect luggage for your next visit to the Mexican Pacific, here are a few essential tips!

Do you really need it?
Before you start packing your suitcase, it’s best to make a list of the things you’ll need for your adventure; from clothing to electric devices such as cameras, laptops, iPads and more.
In this case, and luckily, the warm weather from the beaches of Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit require light clothing, which indicates utilizing less space in your suitcase.
In regards to the number of outfits, ideally, you should choose according to your travel days and add one extra outfit to counter any unforeseen events. Another essential tip to avoid bulky luggage, which you can do so by wearing the garments that take up the most space.

Towels are a rather bulky object for any suitcase, it’s better to leave it off your list since most likely your hotel may provide them to you. Otherwise, I recommend you opt for a microfiber one since these are smaller and lighter.
If among your list of items you have electronic devices, the ideal thing to do would be to carry them in your handbag so that they are not at risk of being damaged or crushed in your luggage.
Remember that when you return from your trip it is very likely that in addition to your initial luggage, you will also have souvenirs and mementos of the destination you visited, thus you will require extra space.
To solve this problem, a few resorts in Riviera Nayarit offer their frequent guests a very efficient amenity, which consists of storing some of your luggage items for a future visit, as well as providing laundry services if required.
