WHAT TO PACK:
On this tour we will be carrying our own luggage. Our most important recommendation is to pack LIGHT. You will not need to carry any tools or camping gear, so a 30 liter drybag attached to the back of the motorcycle will keep things simple. We have no panniers available, mostly to keep the motorcycles light and nimble for the off road sections. Colombia is a warm country so you will not need many layers to keep warm. We will send you a recommended packing list. | ||
