Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
Attractions are concentrated and best explored on foot. Arrange taxis or private vehicles for airport transfers in advance, as public transport is limited.
Best Season
Holy Week offers the most vibrant atmosphere but high demand. For tranquility, visit during the dry season (May-September) for clear weather while touring the churches.
