Adventure Travel Tips: Travel as light as possible with multi-purpose clothing. This is tech clothing that packs small, lightweight, dries fast, and travels amazingly. I don't say this just because we sell this stuff, I say it because I've learned by experience and this stuff is so comfortable, travels well and you'd be amazed at what you can get in the pockets!

A purse is not suggested

Carry some cash. Tips for local guides, not all shops take credit card, misc.
