Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from June to September. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, insect repellent, rain gear, and sturdy shoes for jungle excursions. Respect local customs and dress modestly when visiting indigenous communities. Stay hydrated and use bottled water. Keep valuables secure and avoid isolated areas at night. Cash is preferred; ATMs are available but not always reliable.
