Useful Tips
What to bring to Cuesta Serena?
Simplicity is the key. Leave behind at home your valuables. Rather, bring a warm jacket, heavy wool socks, corduroy pants, trekking boots, long sleeve shirts for nights and short sleeves for day wear. A cap or a hat. Bring tooth paste and brush, bug repellent, sunscreen, moisturizing cream and chapstick for your lips. Last but not least, your video recorder and your photo camera with plenty of film, photo opportunities will astound you. During your stay Cuesta Serena will provide you with a fluffy robe, shampoo, soap, electric hair drier, and a baton for your country walks. Occasionally you will need an umbrella during rainy days which we will supply you with.
