Useful tips

We suggest spending an extra day in South Goa to enjoy other attractions such as the Dudhsagar Waterfalls, Colva Beach, or exploring the temples. However, if you're short on time, you could skip the Palacio do Deao and spend more time at different beaches, such as Varca Beach or Cola Beach. But, if you're looking for an outdoor activity, you could visit the Tropical Spice Plantation and experience a guided tour of the spice plantations.
