What to bring with you?

Sun Protection

  • You will be exposed to the sun during most of your trip. Even when conditions are overcast, the Sun's UV rays will still penetrate through the cloud cover and can still cause sunburn. A combination of sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat will provide you with protection from the sun. Long sleeve shirts are also a good idea.
