I brought 1 carry on and 1 large suite case, and it was too much!
Depending on when u go, I went in June...thats not the best time at all to go. We did because we had no choice. anyways I wore alot of tank tops during this time. Clothes that your body can breathe in..linen, cotton, deffinately no clothes with spandex in them or silk...you'll be over heated. Oh, and even in jean shorts...gets too hot! Dress light
Mosquito spray for sure! And a cream for bug bites for when u get to itchy! Lots of Sunblock. And something for headaches!
Anykind will do.....Who wants to drag around all kinds of equipment...unless thats what ya do...I didn't....Your too busy going from place to place its just a pain to have alot with u...travel around with less...make it simple!
Obviously bathing suite, extra one as well. Few big beach towels...depends on when u go weather u need a light jacket or not, December to February maybe a jacket at night. When ya go through the Mountains to see the river, make sure you keep your camera put away when not in use, or your cell phones (I dont use on vacation) I seen a guy trying to hike in the mountains while climbing a rock he dropped his phone in the water!!! And their towels dragged through the streams! Keep everything put away until u get to where u want to be! Just be wise : ) Bring enough to drink and enough food that you think you will need....U can never have enough liquids....Bring lots! Becareful! Bring also the right shoes make sure they have good traction! I made the mistake of wearing sandals because we weren't told ahead of time...The locals just go barefoot when climbing. Leave a Comment

I'd recommend of course bringing sun glasses or any sort of hat to shield you from the Sun. The weather here is warm year round so bring pleanty of cool clothes but don't forget to bring an umbrella and a sweater; it can get cool some nights, you'll need it if you are going to the interior of PR and when you get here you will see that Puerto Ricans love Air Conditioning which is why some restaurants or stores may be much cooler than outside...
Be sure to bring or purchase plenty of sun screen when coming to San Juan, especially if you are coming from a temperate country and haven't catched sun rays in a while.
Any type of camera should be alright, you may want to bring backup batteries for your camera if it uses the special kind of batteries. Leave a Comment

Remember San Juan is a bif modern americanized city; everything you can uy in Seattle or Idafo City can be bought here. We have the biggest Macy's in the country! My suggestion is to bring lots of your own hometown tee shirts. 'Tees' from out of town are valued local fashion items and make great irreplaceable gifts for new local amigos and amigas.

A backpack for walking in San Juan for your goodies is a good idea so your hands are free for taking pictures.
A light jacket is advisable since it can get cool in the evenings. Shorts, t-shirts, comfortable shoes for walking. Dress clothes and clubbing clothes, there are some really good restaurants that don't except shorts or jeans.
The usual.
Sunblock! Leave a Comment

Make sure you have comfortable shoes. The sidewalks tend to be very uneven and some are cobbles, which are hard on the feet. Leave a Comment

Even if you're travelling in winter, be sure to carry sunblock. You can get sunburned even in January. Leave a Comment
