  1. good walking shoes,
  2. warm and waterproof clothing,
  3. sufficient quantity of water,
  4. sun protection (sunglasses, cream, hat).

Excellent destination. Note that transportation between activities isn't always included, but solutions can be found. There are several activity options per day (don't make the same mistake I did, thinking the activities were predetermined, but there was only one choice; be sure to mention this in the description and to the Decathlon Travel advisors).
