It depends on what you are planning to do on your trip. In general you will probably want a smallish walkabout lens, and a decent telephoto for some of the scenery. I would suggest the Sigma AF 17-70mm f/2.8-4 and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.

It depends on what lenses you have.
If you haven’t got many lenses and are asking which ones you should buy, I would definately go for a nice walk-around lens such as the Canon 24-70L or the 24-105L so you can just keep it on your camera all the time, and it would suit almost any shot.
For the second lens, it would be a tough decision between either a telephoto zoom lens such as a Canon 70-200L or on the other end of the scale, a wide-angle lens such as the canon 17-40L f/4 or 16-35L f/2.8
It all depends on how much you are willing to spend/how much you have. If you have a wide budget, I would definately go for the Canon 24-70L f/2.8 and the 17-40mm f/4 (or 16-35mm f/2.8 for the aperture) but if you don’t have as much, you can always go for the Sigma range of the same lenses, or a third party range, OR the Canon cheaper versions of the lenses. Just have a look around in that sort of focal length.
17-40 (or 16-35)
and
24-70
Would be the best to take with you, in my opinion. But again, it all depends on your budget.

If it were me, I’d consider a macro lens as the second. Scenery can be handled with the walk-around zooms mentioned by others. A telephoto longer than the 24-105L is going to be a pain to carry. A macro will fill your frames with eye-popping stuff easily.
