City advice
What to pack
What wed pack for you
The temp in Del Norte change quickly so layers work well walking shoes we would pack sun glasses or a hat the sun shines and sunscreen .a lot of moisturizer air is pretty dry a bathing suit or trunks for those dips in the springs(a must).a camera you chances for lovely pictures will be innumerable
Book before you go
Early booking
Air bnb prices fluctuate for our bnb so if you see a deal grab it as it could be different the next day
