Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to April. Pack lightweight clothing, sun protection, insect repellent, and comfortable shoes. Respect local customs, especially regarding dress and photography. Stay hydrated and avoid tap water. Use cash in local currency, as card acceptance is limited. Safety is generally good but remain vigilant in crowded places and avoid nighttime travel in remote areas.
