"In your bagpack!" Top 5 Page for this destination Ecuador Packing List Tip by CaptainAmerica

Ecuador What to Pack: 25 reviews and 21 photos

Luggage and bags: First of all, you need a bagback to travel in Ecuador. This is the best way to deal with transportation...
A protection for your bagpack is a good idea since it will be placed on the roof of the buses or in other places not particularly clean. So if you care, think about it.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: You need warm clothes (for the Andes) and light clothes (for the coast). Think about something to protect you from the rain as it may be rainy.
Take tennis shoes or even trekking shoes. Don't need to take you richelieu with you...
As far as warm clothes are concerned, however, please note that clothes in alpaca (very warm and sympathic souvenir) are sold everywhere for nothing. A good way to travel light and come back with souvenirs.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Toiletries are available even in the small towns but bring with you the needed medical supplies. Don't forget mosquitos' repellent!

Photo Equipment: Take your own photo equipment with you, as it is quite expensive and not always reliable in the country.
There are internet cafes everywhere where you can burn CDs or downloud pictures.
