When planning a trip to the cloud forest, it's essential to come prepared to make the most of your experience.
Here are some recommendations for what to bring to the Choco Andino:
Comfortable and appropriate clothing: The cloud forest can have a humid and cool temperature, so it's essential to bring lightweight and breathable clothing that can be layered. A waterproof jacket or poncho is also a good idea in the rain.
Good quality hiking/water boots or shoes: Choco 701 is located in a hilly and mountainous region, so it's essential to have comfortable footwear that provides good support. Hiking/water boots or shoes with a good grip are necessary for exploring the region's many trails.
Sun protection: Even though misty clouds often cover the cloud forest, the sun can be intense. Bring sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun's rays.
Insect repellent: The cloud forest is home to various insects, so it's important to bring insect repellent to protect yourself from bites and stings. Remember to keep the windows and doors closed at night and turn the lights off when going out or in the house.
Binoculars: Prepare to be amazed and contemplate a wide variety of birds and other wildlife, so binoculars are a must for birdwatching and wildlife spotting.
Personal first-aid kit: It's always a good idea to bring a personal first-aid kit with essential items such as band-aids, pain relievers, and antihistamines in case of minor injuries or allergic reactions.
Water bottles: it is essential to stay hydrated, especially when hiking, so it is recommendable to bring a bottle to your hikes.
Camera: A cloud forest is a place of incredible natural beauty (please see below), and a camera is a great way to capture the memories of your trip.
Cozzy Clothes: Nights can be cold, so bring a cozy pajama and a sweater to keep yourself warm.
