Travel Tips

The best time to visit is from December to April when the weather is drier and pleasant. Pack lightweight clothing, swimwear, sun protection, and comfortable shoes for outdoor activities. Respect local customs and greet people with a friendly "hola." Stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Credit cards are widely accepted, but carrying some cash is advisable for small purchases or remote areas.
