Camping Many travel books indicate that you may camp anywhere you like on the islands. This is not correct since most land is privately owned. Camping is permitted on private land with the permission of the owner and you are generally asked to pay a small fee. What to bring Essentials include a sleeping bag, flashlight, batteries, candles, small currency, hat, and a water bottle. Rain gear is necessary in the rainy season.
Food is generally available in hostels and in informal restaurants.
Each village also has several stores which have a limited range of soft drinks, beer, candies, canned foods, and basic supplies. Drinking water is also sold in the stores, but you should bring at least one bottle until you get settled in a place to stay and find a store that is open. There are a variety of trips that you can take on the island, depending upon how long you want to stay. The Island of the Sun is a little over 11 kilometers in length. Most of the interesting sights are located on the eastern side, as are all of the accommodations.
