Snacks & Lunches. Even if you count on eating mainly meals provided by the Refugio Cochamó, it's highly recommended to buy plenty of snack food and lunches. The hike in and day hikes require lots of energy and your body will appreciate the extra fuel.

Cooking it yourself. Guests at the Refugio Cochamó have their own kitchen, gas stove, pots, pans and utensils for making their own meals. For best choice of food, shop in the supermarkets in Puerto Varas or Puerto Montt.

Water. When hiking, water is abundant almost anywhere from the many streams. Most people don't bother filtering water that comes from Río La Junta or other smaller rivers that are principally fed by snow melt. Use your own discretion.
