Pro Tip:
Though the Spring months (March-May) offer warm days, cooler evenings, and the beautiful blooming of the jacaranda trees, making it a visually stunning time to visit; however, this is also the busiest period with higher tourist numbers.
Hence, in other to have a more enjoyable trip without over-crowded tourist spots- we recommend planning your trip around instead of within this period.
