    Is finishing in Santiago important?

    If I had the money I would have taken my kids when they were small. I was all about putting experiences into my boys lives, making memories.

    Preparation for Sept/Oct

    I suppose that is true. I thought it would be mostly warm and rain some days. What clothes I pack will be different if it's cold and rainy. I just don't want to be caught off guard if I can help it. Thank you for the responses.

    Preparation for Sept/Oct

    I read a thread recently where the guy thought it was good to bring a goretex jacket, a fleece, a poncho, gloves and a insect net for your head. Of these I was planning on a rain poncho only. Any thoughts much appreciated! Thanks
