Travel Tips

The ideal time to visit is during the dry season from October to March. Pack lightweight clothing for the day, warmer layers for evenings, insect repellent, and comfortable walking shoes. Respect local customs by dressing modestly and asking permission before photographing people. Stay hydrated and use sunscreen. Carry some cash as card acceptance may be limited. Safety is generally good, but follow guides’ advice in the jungle and avoid isolated areas after dark.
