Schedule your activities to accommodate the traditional Latin American siesta. Many shops and businesses shut down between 12 noon and 1 or 2 p.m for lunch and a rest. It is a noble tradition that should be emulated by sensible people everywhere.

On Saturdays most stores are open and on Sundays almost everything is closed.
