Insider tips

Bring layers, as the proximity to Lake Rapel causes significant temperature drops once the sun sets.

Carry sun protection, as the amphitheater has limited shade structures over the seating areas.

Do not visit during heavy rain, as the natural earth paths leading to the amphitheater can become slippery and muddy.
