Packing:
To better enjoy the hike, pack up to a maximum of 12 kg (25 pounds).
You can also hire the services of a porter
to carry all or part of your personal effects; that way you can better concentrate on taking pictures, or enjoying the scenery.
Although your pack sack says it is waterproof, pack everything in plastic bags inside the pack
