A few details worth planning around before your group travels.
Roads are paved for most of the journey, with gravel on the final approach. A 4x4 is recommended during the rainy season (May–November).
Standard luggage fits comfortably in transfer vehicles. Let us know in advance about oversized equipment like bikes or production gear.
