Tourist Tips
Outdoor clothing

Clothing for the Patagonia is synonym of "outdoors". You must bring comfortable outdoor footwear, windbreakers, lip balm, sunglasses, camera, hat and gloves.
What to wear for excursions


Layers: the first layer should be synthetic underwear, which eliminates perspiration and maintains the body dry (avoid cotton clothes, since they get easily get wet). The next layer must be light and allow for the elimination of perspiration.. The third layer is to protect tourists from external elements, such as water and wind, although it requires adequate ventilation.
Health

No special immunization is needed. There are no poisonous plants or animals. There is a wide range of all kinds of medicines.
Drinking water and food

Although the cities of the Patagonia count on drinking water, it is recommended that tourists drink bottled water, especially when visiting places that are located far from urban areas.
Recording food, it is recommended to eat in established facilities. Fish and shellfish should always be consumed boiled, never raw.
