2. Vientos Alisios: The Secret behind the Magical Mist and Sea of Clouds
These trade winds, unique to the region, are partly responsible for the delightful climate. Not only do they bring a refreshing breeze on warmer days, but they also create a phenomenon called the “sea of clouds”, a white blanket covering the peaks contrasting against the deep blue of the ocean.
