What to bring

This equipment list is intended to be used as a guide and not in any way the last word on gear or packing. We suggest you use this as a general list to cover the wide variety of climatic realities you could encounter here in Patagonia. The central concept behind our equipment list is to have many layers that allow you to regulate your temperature throughout the day and with the changes it will typically bring. As a minimum you essentially need one complete set of hiking clothing for during the days and a change of warm comfortable clothing for the evenings. Another complete change of clothing is suggested for traveling and down time. Any travel clothing or other equipment can be safely left in our offices
