I don't think that most people understand that being cold is additive. That is, if you are cold for a couple of hours and then go to a warm hotel room, that is very different from walking on cold streets, shopping in cold stores, and then going back to a cold hotel room. A warm hotel room is important.
We were on a climbing trip one time, and stayed in a two star hotel. There was a cold spell, and the room had no heat, so we changed hotels to get one with heat. We wanted to be warm when we got off the mountain.
One time when I was young I went camping with some buddies. One of them had an inadequate sleeping bag, and he got pretty cold. Previously, he would walk around in a shirt when others were wearing jackets, so he did not usually get cold. He told me weeks later that he was still cold.
As far as clothing, I would suggest wool or synthetic clothing. Bring wool or synthetic long underwear. I remember San Cristobal as damp. Cotton is useless when wet, poor in damp weather, and slow to dry.
