Useful Travel Tips :

In a cool subtropical highland climate, it's best to dress in layers to adapt to varying temperatures throughout the day and potential rain. Pack a light jacket or sweater, long-sleeved shirts, and a waterproof jacket or umbrella. Don't forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes.
