Planning Your Adventure

We rented a car and stayed in a Airbnb in the middle of town.  It was nice to have the freedom to adventure but it is possible to use a bicycle, walk, taxis and buses if you prefer.  The Airbnb experience in town was very cool!  wonder, shop, eat and repeat was our motto!  but if you prefer a full service resorts there are plenty of those as well.  And make sure to checkout these top rated experiences to complete your adventure!
