re: Best timeframe to see a new country?

We’ve done 8 of those . I think the most important thing is going in “shoulder season” . It masters most because you get more done in less time. We’ve always gone for at least 14 days onsite. There’s so much info online, get a semi flexible itinerary together of must do’s and head out in a different direction everyday. Planning is a must to maximize your time. Enjoy the entire experience.
