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.

Best Time to Visit the Ecuadorian Amazon

The Ecuadorian Amazon is a year-round travel destination since the weather varies only slightly from month to month. May, June, and July have the lowest average temperatures and July has the lowest rainfall making it the ideal time to travel. Expect some rain (it is the rainforest after all!) to refresh you from the heat and humidity when the sun is out.
