Travel Tips

Visit during the dry season (May to September) for the best weather. Pack layered clothing for temperature changes, comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and a rain jacket just in case. Respect local customs and ask permission before photographing people. Carry small amounts of cash as card acceptance is limited. Stay hydrated and be mindful of altitude effects. Learning basic Spanish phrases can enhance interactions.
