What kind of clothes should I bring?

In general, your best choices are lightweight garments that breathe and dry quickly, and you’ll want a mix of long sleeves and short sleeves. A light fleece jacket and a good rain jacket are good to have.  For hard rain, you will like the ponchos provided by the Añangu community.   A pair of light breathable pants, sandals with grippy soles, and a clean shirt are just fine for walking to and from your room to the dining room.

For our hikes and forays in the field, you’ll want to wear the rubber boots provided by the lodge.  Consider bringing a pair of gel insoles or your custom orthotics to place inside your boots – and maybe a second layer of socks – all to improve fit and comfort.

As for laundry, lightweight clothes you can rinse yourself are ideal, but the lodge does offer laundry service for a cost of approximately $1 per garment with next day service. Of course a good hat and sunscreen are important. At 8 to 10 degrees south of the equator the sun is strong, even on cloudy days.
