Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season, May to September. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, insect repellent, sunscreen, and rain gear. Respect local customs and dress modestly when visiting indigenous communities. Stay hydrated and be cautious with food and water to avoid illness. Use cash as many places do not accept cards. Safety-wise, avoid isolated areas at night and keep valuables secure.
