Expert Advice

International Safety and Logistics Recommendations Mandatory Documentation (Border Crossing): As this is an international crossing, we will go through mandatory customs and immigration control. It is the passenger's sole responsibility to carry and have ready their valid identification documents (ID card or passport, depending on nationality), along with any required visas or permits. Luggage Accessibility During the Route: Please note that your main luggage will be stored in the vehicle's cargo compartments and will not be accessible during the trip. For this reason, we strongly recommend bringing a small carry-on backpack and keeping your warm or rain clothing at hand at all times. What to Bring Warm Clothing in Layers: Weather conditions along the route and at border areas can change drastically and quickly. We recommend dressing in layers (thermal base layer, fleece/sweater, and a windbreaker or waterproof jacket). Closed-toe, Comfortable Footwear: Ideally trekking shoes or sneakers with good grip to walk safely on uneven terrain during technical or customs stops.
