⚠️ Consejos de Viaje Imprescindibles Sri Lanka

🚂

Train Etiquette

Hanging out of the blue train doors for photos is a tradition, but hold on tight—it can be dangerous.

🙏

Respect Buddha

Never pose with your back to a statue of Buddha. It is highly offensive. Tattoos of Buddha should ideally be covered.

🐘

Ethical Safaris

Avoid 'elephant orphanages' where tourists ride them. Stick to observing wild elephants in national parks.

💸

Negotiate Tuk-Tuks

In Colombo, use the 'PickMe' app. Elsewhere, always firmly agree on the tuk-tuk price before getting in.

🛡️ Seguro de Viaje Recomendado

Get travel insurance for peace of mind.
