Choose the cave for cooler mornings
If you’re sensitive to sun and seek atmosphere, the cave breakfast stays shaded longer and is physically cooler than the terrace.
Wear grippy, broken-in shoes
Stone steps and packed dirt paths are uneven; closed-toe shoes with good traction make climbs safer and more comfortable.
Hydrate before you arrive
Altitude and sun combine—drink water ahead of the tour and carry a refillable bottle to avoid lagging behind the group.
Bring small cash for crafts
Local artisans sell authentic obsidian and textile pieces; small bills make purchases and tip exchanges easier.
Comfortable hiking shoes
Protects your feet and provides traction on uneven stone steps and compacted earth.
Wide-brim hat & sunscreen
