How to pack for a business trip to northern Peru

July mornings are overcast and by two in the afternoon it hits 28°. This is the short list of what to bring and what to leave behind, built from what frequent corporate guests end up asking to borrow.

Open suitcase with work clothes ready for travel

Chiclayo's weather is deceptive. The morning calls for long sleeves and the afternoon does not forgive a blazer. If you are coming for two or three days of meetings, a carry-on is enough — as long as you pack in layers rather than outfits.

What to bring

  • Two lightweight cotton shirts; polyester does not work at this temperature.
  • One unstructured blazer, only if you have a formal meeting. The rest of the time it is dead weight.
  • Comfortable shoes: downtown is walkable and the sidewalks are not always even.
  • Sunscreen. Even when it is overcast, the northern sun still burns.
  • An adapter and a spare charger — the single most borrowed item at our front desk.

What you can leave at home

  • A heavy jacket or coat. You will not use it at any point in the year.
  • Iron and hair dryer: the rooms already have them.
  • An umbrella. It rains very little, and when it does it lasts minutes.
