- For Minor ailments, head for the pharmacy. These are easily found as they have a large green cross on their business signs. These are usually open Mondays to Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
- Sun screen is a necessity. This is to avoid sunburn and other complications arising from it. For the first few days, avoid going out during the hottest part of the day – between noon and 3:00 in the afternoon. To avoid dehydration, make sure to bring and drink plenty of liquids.
- Bring some mosquito and insect repellent to prevent insect bites and infection.
