The Atlantic by Trek

Before your departure, check with the embassy or consulate regarding the entry and stay requirements for your destination country. You can also find this information on the France Diplomatie website ( https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/dossiers-pays/ ).

In the case of flights with stopovers operated by different airlines, also check the entry requirements of the countries you are transiting through.

It is your responsibility to ensure you are in compliance, particularly regarding the validity of your identity documents (for example, some countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after your return) , visa requirements, necessary vaccinations, and health recommendations. And don't forget to consider any customs restrictions and other potential requirements of your destination or transit country.

ℹ️ Information may change up to the departure date, remember to regularly check official websites.

• Earplugs or Hears, your choice.
  
• Notepad and pen, a good book, a deck of cards...
  
• A bag for dirty laundry, so you can separate it in your main bag from your clean clothes.
  
• Sleeping bag: comfortable, adapted to your size, rather mummy-shaped (closer to the body and with a hood that closes) with a side zip closure for opening at your convenience.
  
  It's essential to choose a sleeping bag that's rated for the temperatures you'll encounter, which will depend on the time of year you're traveling and the region you're visiting. We recommend selecting a sleeping bag rated to be at least 10°C cooler than the lowest average temperature you expect. A sleeping bag rated to -10°C will also be comfortable at 0°C or 10°C; simply open it to allow air to circulate inside. Conversely, if you already have a sleeping bag rated to 0°C, for example, a fleece sleeping bag liner will provide an additional 5 degrees of warmth.
  
• Cotton sleeping bag liner
  
• Toiletry bag and towel
  
• Small personal pharmacy
  
• Sunscreen cream and stick (face and lips)
  
• Headlamp with spare batteries and bulbs
  
• A 1.5-liter (minimum) water bottle, lightweight and insulated, or a 2-liter hydration bladder. The latter has the advantage of allowing direct drinking thanks to its drinking spout, thus avoiding having to take off your backpack to grab your bottle. This way you drink more regularly, and in small amounts, which is recommended for proper hydration. Tip: having two containers allows you to drink from one while the other is being processed.
  
• A multi-purpose pocket knife is preferable (note: it must be packed in your checked luggage!).
  
• Toilet paper + lighter for destruction
  

Clothing, from head to toe:

• Low hiking shoes: sufficient on this easy terrain, and are less heavy and warm than high shoes.
  
• Tennis shoes or walking sandals: to be worn in Marrakech or in the evening at the campsite, they should be taken in addition to the closed shoes mentioned above.
  
• Socks: light for the day and warm (wool or looped) for the evening.
  
• Trekking trousers and Bermuda shorts (avoid shorts or skirts).
  
• Swimsuit
  
• On the skin: it's the first layer of insulation you have, take care of it!
  
• Shirts or T-shirts
  
• Warm sweater or fleece: the latter has the advantage of being durable, warm, lightweight, and quick-drying, with the added benefit of being soft to the touch. The best-known fibers are Polartec, Carline, and Ulfrotté.
  
• Rain cape or Kway in case of rain and/or wind.
  
• Hat or cap with neck protection
  
• Category 3 sunglasses
  

For the coldest evenings, you will also need:

• Warm and windproof jacket: down or Gore-Tex jacket. The most effective jackets against wind and rain are made of Gore-Tex or Micropore, "breathable" materials that allow for rapid wicking of perspiration while maintaining perfect insulation.
