theft-prevention measure.

Clothing Suggestions

Functional Tips

As you will experience a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions, we suggest
several layers of clothing. If you like to hand-wash your clothes, look for fabrics that will dry
out overnight. You can buy clothing designed especially for travel, with features like wrinkle-
resistant fabric or built-in sun protection.

• Footwear: You’ll be on your feet a lot during the trip, and walking over some rough

comfortable walking shoes with arch support are suggested.

• Light rain gear is recommended. Regardless of when you travel, rainfall is a possibility.
While it may not rain on your trip, we suggest you bring a waterproof shell or coat,
preferably with a hood. This might be a better choice than a folding umbrella, which is

• Layers are key. We suggest wearing layers, so you can adjust to warmer and cooler
conditions as needed. Even in winter, temperatures are moderate, but you should plan to
bring some warm layers.

• Bring water gear. We suggest bringing a bathing suit as certain hotels will have pools.
Also, bring a pair of shoes or sandals that you don’t mind getting wet. These will be
useful for when we go rafting.
