For my part, I am familiar with the Andean wilderness, the passes, the locals, my sturdy horses and equipment as well as my Gauchos with whom I have worked for many years. Therefore, I am prepared to offer you a tour that is safe and professionally organized. When you join us for one of these great adventures, please check the following details to make sure you will have everything running to plan. In the Southern Hemisphere summer starts in December and ends in March. The average daily temperature is 25 C and at night 10 C. Inclement weather is also possible.
Fleece is superior to wool clothing as it is lighter and dries faster.
On the trip, normal pants and pullovers are comfortable. Consider a second pullover as a spare. Fleece trekking socks are very comfortable. Long sleeved shirts that are strongly woven act as protection during rides or treks along bush trails. Waterproof trekking boots e.g. Goretex and gaiters are necessary to prevent dirt or water entering boots.
