roadtrip:info.recommendations

  • It is vitally important to carry a bottle of water and maintain constant hydration, we will be in a place where the heat can be very strong and the consumption of water will keep us in optimal conditions to carry out the travel plan.
  • Bring a hat or cap to protect yourself from the sun. If you are very sensitive to the sun, we recommend bringing an umbrella. It is important to use sunscreen, remember to use a mineral sunscreen for your face.
  • Pack light clothes, enough for hot land for two days. We suggest long pants and a long-sleeved shirt on the second day since the route has trees with long branches and this will help us avoid scratches. It is also important to bring a raincoat.
  • Wear comfortable shoes, preferably hiking shoes, in any case avoid canvas shoes or tennis shoes. It is important to bring a change of shoes in case your shoes get wet during the tour.
