The Experience

Before You Go

Stay Hydrated in Remote Areas

Carry sufficient bottled water since many stops lack direct access to potable water sources during the tour.

Dress in Layers

Prepare for wide temperature swings with breathable layers suitable for sun exposure and cooler mountain air.

Confirm Pickup Times

Verify hotel pickup times directly with the provider to avoid delays, as schedules may vary based on location and road conditions.

Prepare for Rough Roads

Expect unpaved stretches—drive cautiously and pack motion sickness remedies if prone to it.
