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.

• Dress in layers: You can add or remove layers according to weather shifts. Suggestions
include short-sleeve shirts, turtlenecks, long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, a
warm jacket, long underwear, etc.
