Expert Advice

Pre-Trip Recommendations Physical Preparation and Diet: To ensure an optimal experience and prevent discomfort caused by altitude or mountain travel, we recommend avoiding alcohol and red meat the night before the excursion. Opt for a light dinner high in easily digestible carbohydrates. What to Bring Cash for Entrance Fees: Please bring $10,800 CLP in cash per person for the park/reserve entrance fee. This amount is not included in the tour price and must be paid directly to your guide at the beginning of the trip (cash is required due to the lack of card connectivity at the park entrance). Warm Clothing in Layers: Mountain weather can change drastically. We recommend dressing in layers (thermal base layer, fleece/sweater, and a windbreaker jacket). Closed-toe, Comfortable Footwear: Trekking shoes or sneakers with good traction for safe walking on uneven terrain. Weather Accessories: Beanie and thermal gloves for the cold, as well as sunglasses with UV protection and high-factor sunscreen. Constant Hydration: At least 1.5 liters of still water per person. Staying hydrated is essential to mitigate the effects of high altitude.
