Why it matters

Timing and preparation shape a trip far more than most travellers expect. A little planning goes a long way when your itinerary spans several climates.

In this guide we share what our travel specialists tell clients before they go, so you can make confident choices about your destination.

When to go

Check the seasonal pattern for each stop on your route — a dry month in one place can be the wettest in another.

Our specialists’ tips

  • Pack layers rather than bulky single items.
  • Use packing cubes to separate climates.
  • Carry a compact rain shell everywhere.
  • Keep one smart outfit for special dinners.
