Is it safe?
A 2.5-hour morning walk through Centro and Gringo Gulch on sidewalks and some steep, cobbled streets. Bring comfortable shoes, water and sun protection.
•Some streets are steep and cobbled. Wear closed, flat shoes. They get slippery in the rain.
•Start at 9 a.m. to avoid the worst of the heat, but bring water, a hat and sunscreen anyway.
•Minimum age is 8. Strollers are a struggle on the cobblestones and steps.
•You are in busy tourist areas: keep your phone and wallet secured, as in any popular place.
Always confirm with the operator: rules and conditions can change.
