What do I take for the trip to South America?

In few hours I have a plane to Buenos Aires, but I am still packing my stuff. The limit of 20 kilograms is definitely too small for 2-mothhs trip :) Especially because the weather will be highly diversified, i.e. from 0 degrees (Celsius) on Atacama Desert, to 35 degrees (Celcius) around Iguazu Falls. It means that I have to to pack shorts as well as very warm jacket. I need to admit that none of my trips so far has been so demanding. Luckily, I already have all of the most significant things like warm clothes, comfortable shoes and electronic equipment. The rest is less important and I can live without another dress or jumper ;)

I would like to make to most use of this trip and I’m going to to take tones of photos, videos and drone shots. I don’t want to miss a thing! That’s why I take a huge bag of electronic equipment this time.

South America is my dreamy destination and I have planned it for months. I have a feeling that it’s going t be the most spectacular trip so far. Keep your fingers crossed for me so that I can get to all beautiful places in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia and Peru.

Find a moment and have a look on my page about this trip: South America Round Trip – the path of natural wonders

I will share with you my current location and the road I follow.

I’ve prepared for you a photo post with the most important things I’m taking with me. It’s going to be an active trip, full of outdoor activities, trainings and running. That’s why I have so much sport clothes. I hope that it’s going to be a helpful guide when you will plan your own trip :)
