Before catching the plane, SOME TIPS
Discard the sentimental items that are not essential. Also note that sophisticated cameras attract thieves. A simpler system will suffice. ATM cards are not necessary if you already have a credit card and some local money.
Make a copy of your passport. This copy may place it in another place than your passport inside luggage or could think of giving a digital copy of your most essential data: passport and other relatives or friends or your employer so that can give you this information again by email in case of emergency. In any case, we recommend to be discreet. It would be better to have some local currency on arrival to avoid having to change tickets at the airport and be loaded with money at the airport, which also attracts.

After meetings and during them
When you. Leave the hotel, do not carry valuable items that are not necessary and take only enough money. Take note to leave your credit cards in a safe place. We forget your ID card (badge) since it contains information about emergency numbers. However, do not take place in plain sight when in the street. Use specific bus service to go to a hotel the other evening reception and ask street plan. Do not act conspicuously. Avoid asking their way to people who do not know.
Use your common sense
If you ride at night, do so in the company. Do not drive through the deserted streets and wide avenues use even if it is a longer route. A small cul - day problems can be dangerous at night. Many thieves and other criminals do not act alone so do not try to use force to defend themselves. Avoid stopping to help people in places where there are many people, even when it comes to children or elderly. Sometimes they are traps. If someone approaches you on the street, keep calm but pay attention to your personal belongings.
Prudencia trafficking
There are many car accidents. In particular, drivers do not have much respect towards pedestrians. Some sidewalks are in disrepair, especially in older neighborhoods. Pay attention when walking and avoid calling the phone or texting when walking.
Stay apart from the demonstrations
in the hotel area manifestations usually occur. Please do not participate in them even if they are peaceful. There can always be violence.
If you need to get some money from the ATM, do so at the hotel. Do not use appliances street or are in places where there are not many people. If you need assistance, see the staff or banks.
Always watch your belongings
Especially in public places including bars, restaurants and even in places of meetings. Do not leave your wallet, your computer or camera bag left on a chair or on the floor.
