Here, tourists can walk freely – without escorts, armed guards, or restrictions.

The local population is friendly and respectful
No tourist zones or confined resorts
No incidents of harassment or danger reported in the area

By contrast, in many other tropical destinations (e.g. parts of the Caribbean, Central America, or Southeast Asia), safety often requires staying inside resorts, avoiding public areas, or hiring security escorts.
