Insider tips

Bring a rain jacket or waterproof layer regardless of the forecast, as sudden shifts in mountain weather are common in this corridor.

Combine this visit with nearby waterfall tours along the Ruta de las Cascadas to maximize travel time along the highway.

Carry small bills and coins for local vendors who may not have access to electronic payment systems.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk from the town center along the highway shoulder, as the road has high-speed truck traffic and narrow margins.
