What to Bring for Cristo Rey Pilgrimage Ride


In the mornings and in the evenings it is good to have some long sleeved shirts or sweaters to take on the rides. It is always good to pack something of both so you can’t get wrong. Don’t forget your swimming trunks. For riding we recommend jodhpurs or jeans and short boots with half chaps. Training shoes are not really apt for riding as you may not be comfortable and get stuck in the stirrups. In any case you may buy short leather boots in the markets for about US$ 25.- to US$ 35.- depending on the size. We do not provide riding helmets, if you want to use one (recommended) you will have to bring it along. In any case we recommend a hat shielding against the sun. We highly recommend a sun cream with high protection factor which you should use daily. The hotel is fumigated against mosquitoes and there are normally not many around. For the Horse Expedition, you need to bring your own sleeping bag (Comfort Zone -10 ° to 10 ° C), towel, torch, waterproof rain jacket and gloves.
