necessary clothing for trip
I'm going to Peru and Bolivia on the July '14 trip, winter time there. Would I need a winter jacket, heavy sweater, or fleece type jacket for the cold weather?

For me, when Tauck say a light jacket is required then I know that I personally will be fine without a coat. On several Tauck tours we have looked around and see that the vast majority of the group are wearing far more layers than we are and we feel comfortable, it's not because we don't have another layer to put on if we need it. We put this down to being born in England where we grew up with no heating In most of the house apart from a fireplace in a living room. At 39 to 45 degrees F if I am walking briskly outside I do not need a coat. I find other people's American homes too warm in Winter and I guess that's why if we compare heating bills, mine are always lower. Same with my water bills, a long shower for me is 5 minutes. So what I am saying is, you know your body. So dress as you would at home for those temperatures, don't rely on others and what they need, they are not you.
