Weather-proof layers
Bring a breathable waterproof shell and midlayers—the weather changes fast and wind-driven rain is common.
Trail footwear
Sturdy hiking boots with good grip are essential for rocky ascents like Laguna de los Tres.
Hydration & snacks
Carry 1.5–2L water and high-calorie snacks—hikes are long and caloric needs rise in cold, windy conditions.
Packraft basics
If you opt to packraft, listen to your guide for a safety briefing and wear a life jacket at all times.
Waterproof hardshell jacket
Keeps wind and rain out on exposed ridges and at lake launches.
Sturdy hiking boots (waterproof)
Offers ankle support and traction on rocky, wet terrain.
Personal flotation device (PFD) or life jacket
Required for packrafting segments; guides may provide but bring a comfortable one if you have it.
Dry sacks for electronics
Protect cameras and layers from spray and sudden showers.
