Top Parks in South

If you want to avoid the rain, go during the dry season from May to September. I got caught in a surprise shower in October and it was a bit of a bummer.

I suggest starting at the opposite side of the park entrance. It’s less crowded, and you can enjoy a more peaceful experience exploring the nature paths.

Check for food trucks near the entrance. The one I tried had amazing local snacks at half the price of the cafes inside! My advice is to plan a picnic instead of eating at the restaurants.

If you can, visit early in the morning around 8 AM. The park is much quieter, and you get to enjoy the vibe before crowds show up.

Check out the playground areas! They are super fun and well-maintained. I think kids of all ages can have a blast there.

My advice is to bring a camera! The views and nature are beautiful, and you'll regret not capturing the moments when you look back at your trip later.

Wear good walking shoes! The trails can be a bit uneven, and I slipped a couple of times because I wore sandals that weren't the best for hiking.

I highly recommend getting to Luz Park early in the morning, around 8 AM, to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before it gets busy. It's a great time for taking photos too!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes since the park covers a lot of ground. I wore flip-flops and regretted it after several hours of walking around.

If you’re planning to rent a sandboard, make sure to haggle a little. I paid too much on my first try, but a friendly chat with the guy got me a better deal later!

I suggest checking the weather before you go, as the trails can get muddy after rain, which can slow you down... I went on a rainy day and it took longer to explore than I expected

My advice is to bring some snacks and water. The cafe on-site was pricey, and having your own snacks saved me some cash and kept my energy up while exploring.
