Take advantage of the moment to capture impressive photos that will go directly to your Instagram feed —with you looking like an authentic magazine model.


7. Aventure tour

Whether flying through the treetops aboard zip lines, descending waterfalls, or surfing the waves, add a unique style to your adventure tour. Simple t-shirts, shorts or bermuda shorts, a good, comfy pair of shoes, and bathing suit —as many tours include dips in the sea—, will work.


8. Onboard a boat or private yacht

Many attractions are only accessible by sea, such as Yelapa and Majahuitas in Puerto Vallarta or Islas Marietas in Riviera Nayarit. You can even plan a day on your private yacht navigating the waters of the Caribbean Sea or the Sea of ​​Cortez. A casual look will be your perfect option, choosing light colors, plain shirts, and a hat, without leaving a windbreaker or light sweater behind —even in hot seasons, the breezes get chilly when sailing open seas.


9. Relaxation + fitness

Being on vacation does not mean leaving your health and beauty routine aside. Whether it is a day at the spa, at the gym or exercising outdoors, you will always want to look your best version.
