Misty Monserrate is not a backup plan. For many travelers, it is the best version of the place.

Rain clarifies material behavior: stone darkens, foliage saturates, ornament sharpens against softened backgrounds.
Shift from distance goals to observation quality. Shorter loops with longer pauses often produce the strongest rainy-day visit.
