The climate on this trip is quite varied, from the cold nights in the Andes mountains to the hot and humid region of the Amazon. In general, the weather is more on the chilly side, so we recommend packing one or two more warm items and one set for warmer weather. 

We will guide you through the items you need. If you just want to download this list as a PDF, you can do that here:

  • Sleeping mask and/or Ear plugs

  • Entertainment (book or e-book reader, laptop, notebook and pens, etc.)

Clothes

Clothing-wise you will mostly need warm clothes as we spend a fair time of the trip in high altitude and cold climates, but don’t forget to bring a few items for the 5 days in the amazon region. We would definitely recommend a warm lightweight puffer jacket for the chilly mountain nights, but also shorts for warmer days in the jungle or for during the day. In general, we recommend versatile clothing. A warmer maybe a bit oversized button down, that can be a shirt, but also add some extra warmth as a jacket on top of a jumper or hoodie. If you have any questions, just shoot us a message and we are happy to help you. We know it can be hard to make a final decision.
