Local Tips
ATMs are scarce, bring cash. Public transport is limited; rent a car for convenience. Book boat tours in advance, especially during weekends and holidays.

Safety Warnings
La Higuera is generally very safe; however, be cautious when driving on rural and coastal roads, especially at night due to poor lighting and wildlife. Swim only in designated areas, as some beaches have strong currents. Watch belongings at busy tour sites.
