6. Q: What's the rainy season like? A: During the rainy season (usually June through September), the clouds build up over the mountains in late afternoon and it may rain for a while (usually no more than an hour) and then it clears up and is clean and fresh again. It's not very humid and the rain can be very exciting sometimes with thunder and lightning. 7. Q: What kind of clothes should I bring? A: San Miguel is a casual place. Bring a hat and sunscreen as the rays can be very strong at this altitude (6,400 feet). It's best to bring clothes that you can layer and remove as it warms up during the day. And most importantly, bring flat, comfortable walking shoes with thick soles. If you want to go to the hot springs, bring a bathing suit. Some guests bring their old clothes which they wear here and then donate to charity when they leave thus making room in their suitcases for the treasures they buy!
