Why Is It Important?

As the day progresses, the number of visitors increases significantly. This can make the visit slower, create longer lines, and reduce the overall quality of the experience.

Additional Tip

Travel between April and October (dry season) for a better chance of clear skies and improved visibility.

Recommendation

If you’re looking for a more peaceful and organized experience, booking an early tour is the best option.
