Couple Travel Tips
• Put your luggage in the trunk and if you leave anything of value in the car, be sure it’s out of sight. A $500 camera sitting on the front seat will get you robbed in a country where that is what some people make in a whole month of working.
• As we said before, rent a 4WD and don’t race down any dirt roads. Potholes here are more like pot-craters and the last thing you want is a flat tire or busted up car in the middle of nowhere.
• Plan for lots of extra time in your trip. On our trip we ended up delayed for hours on two different occasions; once by a mudslide and once by a broken down, hand-repaired wood bridge.
