Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Always bring water with you!!
The desert is so beautiful, but as you might have guessed, it's very dry! Even in the winter, you will need to drink A LOT of water to stay hydrated! Especially if you are going to be hiking or doing things outdoors, bring water. One bottle of water per person is NOT enough... Hydrate! :)
