For Guatemala:

We recommend trying to keep the bags light if you plan on doing a bit of travel. And to remember that we will be in the high mountains so it can be a little chilly in the night or day. Traveling in other countries we advice not bringing things of HUGE value or sentiment unless needed.

• Reusable water bottle
• Clothes for all weather and to stay warm at night
• Headlamp or flashlight
• Sunscreen
• Sunhat
• Sunglasses
• Rain gear (just in case, but envision great weather)
• Natural Insect repellent
• always gotta remember your toothbrush and tooth paste 🙂
• bathing suit (if you want to swim)
• spending money to support the local artisans
• remedies or medications you need

Other options:

• First aid kit (we will have one but always nice to be prepared)
• Ear plugs
