Most items that you need will be pretty obvious, unless your mother still packs your bag for you! But you will need to bring:
- lap-top computer
- adapters to Spanish sockets (type F or C). Power is 230 V, 50Hz.
- camera and download cable and/or binoculars
- walking boots
- wet-weather gear for walking (weather can be unpredictable)
- sunscreen lotion
- insect repellent
- warm sweater
- sensible hat for walking
- travel sickness pills, if you need them, for the bus trip
- silly hat, musical instruments for evening entertainments
- credit card to pay your Temuca hotel
- cash (Chillean or USD) to pay for alcoholic beverages
- pens and notebook
- toothbrush and nightwear (the most commonly forgotten things)!
There is no shop nearby, so do not assume that you can just buy things you need when you get there. Come fully prepared.
