During the dry season, from May to September, there is usually less rain and the climate is more stable, which can make walking and observing the landscapes easier. However, it is important to bring warm clothing as the temperature can be colder at altitude, especially at night.

It would be helpful to ask about specific amenities offered by the lodge, such as sanitary facilities, hot water supply and other amenities to ensure a comfortable stay.
It is important to know the duration of visits to each attraction to plan your time appropriately. Additionally, if you are interested in interacting with local communities, it would be helpful to know if there are opportunities to do so during the tour, such as visits to local markets or craft workshops.
