Prepare for elevation change
Temperatures can drop 8–12°C compared to the coast—bring a lightweight jacket for mornings and evenings.
Footwear for slippery trails
Wear grippy shoes for slippery platforms at Datanla and wet paths near cascades.

Local markets and coffee gardens often prefer cash for small purchases and tips.

Departing before 7:00 reduces time spent in traffic and increases chances of clear views from the cable car.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction helps on wet, rocky paths at waterfalls and uneven market alleys.
Lightweight insulated jacket
Layering is necessary for cool mornings and sudden wind on the plateau.
