Bonjour,
Je m'attaque aujourd'hui à une nouvelle question : quels types de vêtements prendre pour un voyage au Pérou et en Bolivie de mi-juillet à mi-août (avec un passage à Puerto Maldonado, Macchu Picchu, lac titicaca, la paz, uyumi del salar, arequipa ...).
Je me demande :si cela vaut le coup de prendre des shorts ?niveau pantalon, je n'ai que des jeans chez moi. Faut-il que j'achète autre chose ?pour les pulls, faut en prendre beaucoup ou alors il arrive que l'on se balade à tee-shirt ?
Sinon j'ai déjà prévu de prendre un manteau coupe vent.
Autre question : dois-je absolument prendre un duvet pour ce séjour ? Qu'elles sont les températures dans les hôtels et les bus ?
Bon, visiblement tu n'as pas pris le temps de faire une petite recherche sur ce site pour trouver les dizaines (centaines ?) de réponses à cette question si souvent posée... Je m'y colle donc 😇 😉 :
Pour ces destinations et à cette période, il faut absolument prévoir une couche chaude. Si tu as un duvet et que tu peux le compresser dans un petit sac pour qu'il prenne le moins de place, alors prends-le. Tu seras content de l'avoir dans certains coins et notamment dans le Sud Lipez bolivien, crois-en mes multiples expériences ! Ne pars qu'avec un seul pull (ou une polaire) car là bas tu seras peut-être content d'en acheter un en alpaca (très chaud, doux et peu cher). Pour ce qui est des jambes, même si tu auras chaud à certains endroits comme Arequipa ou sur l'altiplano dès que le cagnard cogne (et il cogne le bougre), je te conseille d'oublier le short et de ne partir qu'avec un seul pantalon qui sèche vite en cas de pluie ou si tu dois le laver (c'est à dire, pas un jean). L'idéal étant peut-être un pantalon avec les jambes détachables, comme ça tu auras les deux. Mais, bon, un jean fera aussi l'affaire si tu ne veux/peux pas investir, sauf si tu souhaites randonner. Emporte aussi un caleçon long chaud et une bonne paire de chaussettes chaudes (à moins que tu n'en achète une là bas en arrivant, en laine de lama)... Tu verras que tu seras content d'avoir pris tout cela quand tu seras là haut, dès que le soleil se cache ou se couche !
Un conseil : dans toutes les villes et dans beaucoup d'hôtels, tu trouveras des services de laverie pour tes fringues. En donnant tes vêtements en fin d'après midi, tu peux facilement les récupérer le lendemain matin... Inutile donc de partir avec des tonnes de vêtements !
Pour ce qui est de la température dans les bus, elle peut être vraiment froide, notamment dans le sud de l'altiplano bolivien comme en témoigne cette petite histoire que j'ai raconté il y a quelques années : https://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=41495;#41495.
Dans les hôtels, tout dépend de la catégorie que tu choisis. Si ce sont des hôtels bon marché ou des chambres chez l'habitant, alors ne t'attends pas à un bon 20° comme chez "nous" et un petit bonnet ainsi que des chaussettes chaudes ne seront pas du luxe en plus de ton tee-shirt à manches longues et ton caleçon long !
Bon voyage !

Bonjour Robert, j'ai entrepris le même voyage que toi l'an passé.En montagneLa moralité c'est que le thermomètre varie énormément Aréquipa, Canon del colca. Les pluies sont tres rares à cet époque, ton kway sera une securite.
Ce que je te conseille c'est d'avoir plusieurs couches de vêtements, pour le bas, sous-collant genre ski au dessous de ton pantalon, idem pour les chaussettes. Pour le haut, un dammart, un pull laine et une polaire fond l'affaire. Indispensable les gants et le bonnets. D'ailleurs tu peux acheter ces accessoires en arrivant à Lima au marché Domingo.
Je te conseille des chaussettes en laine lama, pas chères ( 3-6€), chaudes et réspirantes. Pour les gants et le bonnets, choisi les modèles doublets trés efficace.
Pour être à l'aise tu devras pouvoir retirer tes vêtements au long de la journée.La côte: Lima15-20°, climat brumeux, 12° le matin.La selva (jungle):
Je ne l'ai pas fait mais chaud, humide, attention au moustique lors bermuda je sais pas.
on part pour deux semaines un circuit organisé et j'aimerais avoir quelques infos concernant notre circuit ( Lima, Iles ballestas, réserve naturelle de paracas, Lignes de nazca, Arequipa, Canyon de colca croix du condor, Lac titicaca et indiens uros, cuzco , Machu pichu et on fini par Lima).
1: en terme de vêtements est ce qu'il faut prévoir des polaires et pantalons ou on peut être en bermuda et tee_shirt.
2: pour les végétariens peuvent ils survivre au Pérou 🏴☠️, sachant que la majorité des plats c'est avec la viande.
Bonjour !
Très difficile de s'y retrouver dans les micro-climats du Pérou !
Il est vrai que tout est inversé par rapport à tout... bref, c'est compliqué !
Je te propose ce lien, qui te permettra d'avoir un aperçu complet du climat au Pérou, et donc qui repondra à ta question sur les vêtements à emporter !
Bon voyage !
Je suis parti cet été au Brésil, avec un passage d'une semaine en foret amazonienne.
Très satisfait des vêtements achetés par internet sur une boutique spécialisée:
Pantalon et veste CIMALP spécial voyage pays chaud sur: http://www.vetements-voyage.com en active dry, la matière est top, aucune piqure de moustiques avec leurs tissus anti moustique. Bien coupé, prix correct.
Aussi j'avais un pantalon et chemise craighooper achetés au vieux campeur à Lyon. Cette marque propose des vêtements bien pensé pour les voyages, pour moi la coupe n’est pas super. Prix un peu élevé.
Je pars en solo 6 semaines au Pérou-Bolivie à partir du 10 février. Etant itinérante avec sac-à-dos j'essaie d'alléger au maximum mon sac-à-dos d'où ma…

Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
We’d love to visit Georgetown and the beautiful beaches of Langkawi from mid-September to early October, but we’re worried it’ll be a real steam bath 🥵
Thanks to anyone who can share their experience!

For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December?
I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Mauritius—anyone have advice on when to go? I’m thinking April, May, or June for my stay. Which month would you recommend for the best beach weather, sunbathing, and exploring the island? Thanks!
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka:
Negombo – 1 night
Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights
Kandy – 2 nights
Ella – 3 nights
Tangalle – 6 nights
Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend?
Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November.
I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
Marie
So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!

hi
It seems that in recent years, January and February in Bohol have seen an increase in rainy periods. Have any of you noticed this?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hello, We’re heading to Finnish Lapland near Rovaniemi as a family at the end of February with two kids (8 and 14 years old). We’ve got direct flights with Luxairstours. The itinerary is already set, but I’m wondering if anyone has traveled with Luxair before and knows exactly what kind of clothes they provide on the second day? The agency just told me it’s a heavy-duty cold-weather suit. I’m thinking we should get Sorel Caribou boots, maybe second-hand. Here’s what I’ve already planned:
- Thermolactyl leggings and tights from Damart for the whole family as a base layer.
- A first layer of Damart socks + Nordic Stocks socks in 70% merino wool for all four of us.
- Loose fleece layers, including some Polartec.
- Ski pants for hikes.
- For my son and me, a The North Face Himalayan down parka with a hood.
- A ski parka for my husband and my 14-year-old daughter (she *really* wants a Roxy one—I hope it’ll be warm enough).
- For myself, for the flight and the first day at Santa’s village, I’ve packed The North Face winter hiking pants, a long-sleeve merino wool top from Decathlon (thin), a fleece, and my big parka.
I’m wondering if I should just pack fleece joggers or sweatpants for the kids and my husband, at least for the first and last days, to be comfortable on the plane?
I’m also planning to buy balaclavas and neck warmers in addition to our beanies, as well as mittens for all of us. I really need advice because I have no idea—I’ve never been skiing! Also, for a 4-night, 5-day trip, should I pack a second set of base layers, like from Odlo?
Of course, I’ll be leaving cotton clothes out of the suitcase.
As you can tell, I’m someone who gets cold easily—especially my feet, hands, and ears—so that’s my biggest worry. I *don’t* want to be cold, even at -20°C during dog sledding, snowmobiling, or aurora hunting when we might be standing still. We won’t be in the city, and the kids will likely spend most of their time outside, as they usually do.
Hi there!
I’m planning a 10-day trip to Greenland in early August.
Could anyone tell me what kind of weather and temperatures to expect?
I’ve heard there are mosquitoes—is that true?
Thanks!😊
Sunny destinations in October???
Not too much rain.
Martinique, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Mauritius, Cape Verde, or somewhere else?????
Any tips? Thanks for your help
