Has anyone been to General Information recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
