| Notebook, pens and pencils | | Trying to write a diary for every day on the road. | Miguel's notebook stolen in January 2017. Eva kept writing a diary. |
| Wallets with cash and cards | | | Carrying several small wallets with different currencies and cards. Also a "fake wallet" with expired credit card and a bit of cash for big "dangerous" cities. |
| Passports and ID cards, and photocopies | | | Kept safely in a waterproof pouch. |
| Wristwatches | | | |
| Insurance cards | | | |

| Glasses | In case of a problem with contact lenses or for the evening | | |
| Sunglasses (Eva: 2 pairs, Miguel: 1 pair) | Julbo | Good quality sunglasses | Still using the same pairs. |
| Blanket (cotton) | Like an turkish pestemal. For picnics or the beach | Used a lot as towel, beach towel, picnic blanket. | Very useful and easily washable. |
| Paper road maps | | Useful for medium-term planning | Still useful but difficult to find good quality for South America. Ended up using mostly Google Maps for long-distance planning and other tools (OsmAnd, bike.travel, etc. ) for day-to-day planning. |
