In the Andes clothing is an important consideration. Expect cold and sometimes windy evenings. You will definitely want warm clothing. Good shoes are also important because, except for houses, you will not find much flat terrain. To protect against the high Andean sun, sunglasses, sun block, and a hat are essential. Rain gear and insect repellent are also a good idea. For complete lists of trekking equipment, please contact us.
