Go beyond the tours. Visit local markets, attend festivals (if they coincide with your trip), and talk with artisans. The real cultural richness lies in genuine interactions.

In indigenous communities or religious sites, be mindful and respectful of local customs. Ask before taking photos, dress appropriately in churches, and follow the recommendations of your local guides.

Your visit can have a positive impact. When buying crafts, choose local products. When visiting a community, support local businesses. Your trip is not just an adventure, it's an opportunity to contribute and leave a positive mark.
