Layer for altitude swings
Temperatures can drop quickly above 2,000 m—carry a lightweight windproof layer even on warm days.
Hydrate before you go
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water per person; high altitude and dry air increase dehydration risk.
Sun protection is mandatory
UV at altitude is strong—use sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed hat to avoid sunburn.
Follow your guide on fragile trails
Stay on marked paths to protect endemic plants and fragile volcanic crusts; do not remove rocks or plants.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Firm soles and ankle support help on pumice, loose scree and uneven basalt.
Layered clothing + wind shell
Temperature and wind change rapidly with elevation—layers let you adjust quickly.
