One bag, three climates. Here's what to actually pack for Colombia.

Colombia is hard to pack for. Not because it's far, but because one trip usually crosses three or four climates. Cartagena is hot and sticky. Bogotá sits about 2,600m up and gets properly cold at night. Medellín is spring all year, and the Coffee Region rains most afternoons.

So the usual packing list doesn't work. You need one bag that handles all of it, without hauling a winter coat to the beach.

Tell me your stops, your trip and your bag, and you'll get a list built for your route: what to bring, how many, and what to leave at home. Seven trips in, this is what actually earns its spot in the bag.
