When doing the Inca Trail it is important to have everything you need in your travel backpack, but what to take with you to comfortably enjoy your trip along the ancient Inca Trail. Kuskandes Trek has prepared information that may be useful to you on this wonderful journey.
An important point is prioritization, which means that you only have to pack what you need. Even if you plan to hire a doorman. It makes sense to think about who is responsible for carrying some of your luggage and not make your job more difficult than it should be. It should also be noted that experts recommend that the backpack weigh no more than 10% of body weight.
Clothing: You must consider that you will wear several layers of clothing. If the group decides to walk very early, it will be very cold but by midday it will be hot and you will only need a t-shirt.
Shoes: It is important to remember that good mountain shoes are essential for the Inca Trail, designed for difficult mountain walks, there is no other possible substitute and obviously the new Trek shoes are not used in the mountains because they are designed to vary the terrain. must be used prior to this excursion.
First aid kit : Ideal for having a small first aid kit with basic medication for mountain sickness, acetazolamide, bronchodilators and analgesics. Agencies often carry oxygen cylinders, but it never hurts to carry one with you.
Food: For walks there are always good energy bars, chocolate and bananas (for potassium).
Others: sunglasses and sunscreen, during this period the sun burns very strongly, even without realizing it.
Mountain poles, essential for the descent.
