Q: How should I prepare for the altitude change during the tour?

Stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and take it slow. Consider drinking coca tea to help with mild altitude sickness symptoms.

Q: What is the dress code for visiting Old Town churches and cathedrals?

Dress modestly. Ensure shoulders and knees are covered to respect the religious sanctity of the historic colonial sites.

It is generally safe during the day, but stay in well-lit, populated areas and avoid walking alone in quiet alleys at night.

Yes, expect uneven cobblestone streets. Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes with good grip to navigate the historic center.

Q: Can I find vegetarian or dietary-specific food in Old Town?
