Things to note

Here are some recommendations for the tour:

-The tour lasts around 2 and a half hours, so I suggest wearing comfortable shoes.

-Don't forget your sunscreen

-We are in raining season, so don't forget to bring an umbrella (In case it doesn't rain you can use it for the sun)

-Don't forget to bring cash for tickets for the National Palace and The Rosario Church (The opening to the public of these places may vary due to religious services and events at the National Palace). I suggest bringing the equivalent of $10 dollars in cash to avoid any inconvenience.

See you soon!
