Anytime possible. In the dry season from May to November, it rarely rains in the mountains and clear visibility is likely at the destinations. Fog is common on the coast. In the rainy season from December to April one finds a more lush and fresher flora in the mountains with less tourist traffic. On the coast it is sunnier and there is hardly any fog.
