guayaberas can be considered as appropiate as a suit in central america. Specially in the hot days, a suit would be unbearable.

The prince is not the only one wearin a tie, some other people behind him are wearin them too. I suppose it was not that hot for him to still be comfortable in a suit
 
Many thanks! These photos are great. Prince Felipe seems always very happy in Latin-America.

I loved specially the last pic, with the girl dancing...Since I'm a folkloric dance teacher...:rolleyes:
