Please check the following sentence.

It rains almost every day and the rain made my trip more difficult to visit many places.
 
:down:

It rains almost every day and the rain makes my trip more difficult [STRIKE]to visit many places.[/STRIKE]

or

It rains almost every day and the rain makes [STRIKE]my trip[/STRIKE]IT more difficult to visit many places
Once you've said one thing about the trip (it's yours) you can't add 'to visit...'.

I've silently fixed the tenses, which I'm sure wasn't a real' mistake. ;-)

But, if you want 'rains...made' you could always introduce a 'has'. And, if you want to be really fancy - and talk about the constant trouble you've been having - you could say 'It rains almost every day and the rain has been making it more difficult...'

How about:

It rains almost every day here and that made it more difficult to visit many places.
