What to pack
F.a.q.
 

The moment of packing might be, for many people, a complicated and a stressful process. We offer you a series of useful pieces of advice in order to avoid taking a tranquillizer or asking your entire family to sit on the luggage just to be able to slide the zippers.

Speaking of which, take into account that the maximum baggage weights allowed for internal flights are 15 kg in the hold of the plane and 5 kg of hand baggage

Once everything is ready, before filling up the cases, do not forget the old saying that goes: 'for every travel, it is always necessary to carry half of the clothes, twice as much money and three times the amount of time you have available'.

The weather is cold most of the year, but you will find the hotels, the restaurants and transports to be quite heated. The 'onion style' clothing is the most advisable one for it will allow you to take off or put on garment depending on where you are. Thus, you should pack a warm jacket and a raincoat, sweaters or turtle necks as well as cotton shirts. Add to all this a good amount of socks (always taking a pair before leaving for an excursion) and the kind of footwear that best adapts to the ground. An ideal would be to have some kind of rubber-soled sneakers or trekking shoes and avoiding the ones with leather soles.
During winter, it is important to remember to take gloves, a scarf and a cap. According to the season and the destinations, if it's summer, you may include some pieces of clothing for the beach.

Despite all this advices, it is always necessary to take sun block and sun glasses no matter the season or time of the year.

Mendoza and Salta

Winter is characterized by cool days and cold nights. During Spring and Autumn the days are very nice and the nights range from cool to cold. Thus, and given the broad range of temperatures between the mountain and the plateau, it is important to pack according to the season of the year: Sunglasses, sunblock and lip balm, hat or cap all the time. For the excursions you can make during the whole year, it is important to take trekking shoes or rubber sole boots and to try to avoid sneakers or shoes with thin soles; these are only suitable for the moments devoted to rest or take a light stroll.
Exercise trousers, since there are horseback riding activities available, water-proof jackets and a warm coat since the nights are cool during summer and they are very cold during winter. During summer you may include a bathing suit and sandals.
