Luggage and bags: a backpack is best, seeing that you´re likely to be getting off the a coach and will then have to walk a bit

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: shorts, t-shirts, especially around easter it can get HOT! But do take a thin (but water, not shower´, proof) rain coat and long trousers as sudden cloudbursts can occur. And you should consider waterproof shoes as the streets are mainly dirt tracks and if it rains ...

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: bring any kind of repelant and sun sunscreen! and don´t buy shampoo or medical supplies of and description unless you´re in a farmacia or supermarket with airconditioning, the local ripoff brands look the same but can have interesting effects

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: just don´t do it. You´re going to be seen as incredibly rich stupid gringos who are too stupid to enjoy their money. You are going to be robbed. It is understandable, these people are struggling to feed their families and you´re going to look like a walking wallet.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Well, it is hot here... light clothes, long sleeves/pants.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Insect repellant, and to be really touristy, sun screen, especially for the boat ride.
