Packing for Peninsula Valdés depends on the season, but since it’s Patagonia, the key is to be prepared for wind, variable temperatures, and outdoor activities. Here’s a packing list to help you:
Clothing

✅ Layers (Base + Mid + Outer) – Mornings/evenings can be chilly, while midday can be warm. Bring thermal shirts, fleece, or a light down jacket.
✅ Comfortable Pants – Hiking pants or jeans work well. Avoid loose skirts/dresses due to wind.
✅ Hat, Scarf, and Gloves – Even in summer, the wind can make it feel colder.
✅ Sunglasses – The sun and wind-blown dust can be intense.

✅ Swimwear (Optional) – If you plan to visit nearby beaches.
Accessories
✅ Sunscreen & Lip Balm – The sun and wind can be harsh.
