Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to April. Pack lightweight clothing, sun protection, and comfortable shoes for walking. Respect local customs by dressing modestly in religious sites and greeting with a polite “Buenos días.” Stay vigilant with personal belongings and avoid isolated areas at night. Cash is preferred in many places, but ATMs and some card acceptance are available. Learning basic Spanish phrases enhances the experience.
