- Plan Your Itinerary: Depending on your timeframe and interests, focus on one or two regions or explore different parts of the country. Choose between independent travel for flexibility or guided tours for organized experiences.
- Prepare for the Trip: Ensure essential documents like a valid passport, visa (if needed), and travel insurance. Familiarize yourself with the exchange rate, health and safety regulations, customs, and etiquette. Pack season-appropriate clothing and essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, water bottle, camera, phone charger, adapter plug, and a phrasebook or language app.
