The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Temperatures at 1,560 m can be near freezing before sunrise—bring a warm jacket, hat, and gloves.
Bring motion sickness remedies
The jeep route includes unpaved sections and switchbacks; take meds ahead of pickup if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Charge camera gear
Sunrise light is brief—carry spare batteries and a memory card for wide-angle and telephoto shots.
Carry small cash
Coffee tastings and small souvenirs at plantations often accept cash more readily than cards.
