Rods

The weight of the line depends on the size of the river, the conditions of each spot, and, of course, your personal tastes. To fish small streams and medium-sized rivers the best average rod ranges from #3 with floating line to #6, with floating and a sinking tip line.
Please ask us to advice which kind of rods will be better depending the time of your trip.

Summer clothing

Take into account that, in summer, even if temperatures can reach 30ºC (86ºF) during the day, weather can change abruptly. It is usually cool at night, and you cannot rule out a few days of rain. This is why we suggest you include warm rainproof clothes in your luggage. The best thing to do is to dress in layers, since you can add or drop clothes according to weather changes. Must haves are T-shirts, a light fleece or sweatshirt, and a windbreaker. It is also necessary to bring an extra pair of shoes, preferably hiking boots, and several pairs of socks. A cap or hat, sun block, bug spray, lip balm, sunglasses, cotton T-shirts, swimming suit and hiking pants
