Not like winter up here since you are closer to the equator. Usually, it's sunny and I would cycle in shorts and a long sleeve tee shirt. You may have to switch into long pants and a jacket if the pass is really high or you cycle into the clouds so dress in layers. This cold snap is unusual but seems like the weather is getting crazy everywhere.
I'm very flexible on when I can make this trip next year but I was thinking it would be better to go in May/June since those are the 2 of the driest months of the year down there. Plus I think flights are a bit cheaper then too.
How bad exactly is their wet season? Which seems like it last from Jan-Apr and then picks up again in Oct-Dec.
