What to Bring for Touch the Sky Trail


In most parts of the Andes, you can experience all four seasons in one day. Be prepared for cold nights and cold rain if you're caught outside. Warm, fast drying clothes are recommended (synthetics and wool are good, but avoid cotton, especially directly against the skin).
Since you will be riding at elevations between 9.000 and 13.000 feet, light warm clothing worn in layers is highly recommended. Ponchos in case of rain will be provided.
We encourage all riders to wear a helmet and chaps (which we can provide). Ponchos in case of rain will be provided.

Plastic water bottles are becoming a major environmental hazard, help us reduce the use of plastic bottles by drinking from a glass whenever you can or use a refillable bottle when you are on the go. Please bring your own bottle and refill it with our fresh spring water.
