Best time to visit
January, July and August are the driest months. October and November, then April and May, are the wettest, and during those weeks the trails into the Melcocho and waterfall canyons get tough. For the town and its ceramics, any month works: rain usually falls in the afternoon.
For festivals, December brings the Fiestas de la Loza and August the Fiestas del Campesino. See festivals.
What to pack
- A jacket or sweater for the evening, when it drops to 12 to 14 °C (54 to 57 °F).
- A rain jacket or small umbrella.
- Sunscreen: at this altitude the sun burns even when it is not hot.
- If you go down to the canyons (800 to 1,000 m), light clothes and swimwear: it is hot and humid there.
Before booking, ask whether your place has hot water. See hotels in El Carmen de Viboral.
