Some suggestions for your packing list for horse trails (incomplete)
|
• Sleeping bag, suitable for temperatures around 0 degrees Celsius. (Can be rented, please let us know in advance)
• Sun blocker
• Torch, water bottle (we can provide if you let us know), a lighter.
• Hat or cap
• Sun glasses
• Swimming suite, towel
• Rain gear: we suggest you bring waterproof trousers and jacket, we provide additional rain ponchos which are great on horseback, but may not suite you for the time you’re not riding.
• Riding trousers: jeans or trekking trousers are perfect for the kind of riding we do.
• Shoes: Light trekking boots, best if they are high enough to protect your ankles.
• Fleece clothes to keep you warm during the cool nights in the Andes. Best option to take cloths that you can put one on top of the other if it’s getting cold.
• For rides outside main season (which is January, February, March) and in the high Andes we strongly recommend to bring warm underwear.
• We provide half chaps – if you prefer your own gear, you are welcome to bring it.
• We do not provide riding helmets, so if you are used too, please bring your own, as they are not common in Chile it will be hard to find one in any shop around.
Weight limit for personal items: On packtrips: 5 kilo, 10 liters, not including tent, mat and sleeping bag. On rides accompanied by 4x4: a bag, 50x30x30 cm, not including tent, mat and sleeping bag |
