South American Packing Essentials

Packing advice, including a list of recommended essentials for trips to South America. ATM/ Debit card. In every major and most minor cities in South America, I've found ATM machines that accept my debit card. Arrange for a fee waiver before leaving and save receipts in case there are errors. I was double charged or incorrectly charged more than three times totaling a staggering $970. I got it back, but it was a fight. Teva Sandals, durable and comfortable boots, and hiking socks. Hiking boots are versatile enough to wear to a show and tough enough for slogging through mud during an Andean shower. Your feet will thank you for the breather when you wear the sandals.

great travel company. We called for a last minute trip to Svalbard. Kevin gave great advice and worked fast, and emailed promptly. He even got us some last minute discounts. Highly recommend! We also traveled through Adventure Life on another Arctic cruise, and they supported us through some trying circumstances.

It was a great experience arranging our Svalbard wildlife cruise (Around Spitzbergen - in the reals of polar bear and ice, on MV Plancius) with Adventure Life. They are very reliable with information and trustworthy with payment handling. We organised this trip one year ahead and we were kept up to date all the way. Our dedicated travel advisor, Chloe made our travel experience extra convenient and super easy. Very happy with Adventure Life's service and support. Would recommend them 100% to everybody.❤️
