After asking to our customers who have been traveling around Cusco & Machu Picchu we have come up with our definitive list of what to

Packing list for 10-Day Peru Express Tour

  • A GOOD PAIR OF HIKING BOOTS OR WALKING SHOES.- This is not the place to bring those high heels ladies! Steps and uneven cobble stone surfaces abound and if it rains the stones can get slippery.
  • A PONCHO FOR THOSE DOWNPOURS.- The weather changes very quickly here. An ideal solution is to carry a good quality poncho in your daypack at all times particularly during the rainy season from November / March. (You can buy ponchos in any of the tourist shops in Cusco but the quality isn’t always great.)
  • A WARM JACKET.- Evenings and mornings can be very cold particularly between June – September so a good quality, waterproof and ideally windproof jacket is ideal. Another good option is a warm fleece which you can wear under a light-weight waterproof, windproof jacket.
  • GOOD QUALITY SUNSCREEN AND A SUNHAT.- Due to the altitude and Peru’s location close to the Equator frequent application of sunscreen is advised to avoid any nasty sunburn. Be warned, even when it’s cloudy here you can get very burnt.
  • BRING CLOTHES THAT YOU CAN LAYER.- Cool mornings mean you may want to wrap up as you set off for a day’s exploring, however by 11am you might want to strip down to a t-shirt and shorts.  Warm layers and trousers that can be unzipped into shorts are great. You will only need a couple of changes of clothes as you can get washing done anywhere cheaply.
  • A DAY-PACK TO CARRY ALL YOUR BITS AND PIECES.- ideally with a hip strap to make long days hiking and exploring more comfortable.
  • A WATER BOTTLE.- Plastic disposal is a real problem in the Sacred Valley so we recommend you buy large bottles and refill water into your own re-useable bottle.
  • SMALL FIRST AID KIT FOR BASIC CUTS AND BRUISES AND TUMMY UPSETS.- Pharmacies abound in Cusco and other small towns in the Sacred Valley where you can buy basic first aid and medical supplies. Do make sure however, that you bring enough of any prescription medicine you might need as some brands and types of medicine might not be available in Peru. A good rule of thumb is to bring enough prescription medicine to cover you for the length of your trip plus an extra week in case you get delayed.
  • A spare pair of prescription glasses or contact lenses plus a copy of your prescription is a good idea.
  • A SMALL POCKET SIZE TORCH.
  • Earplugs for when you are stuck in a noisy room or want to sleep on the bus or plane.
  • A DUCKPACK.- or rainproof covering for your daypack or backpack is a must particularly if you are travelling during the rainy season to avoid wet clothes and personal items. This is particularly important if you are going to be doing any multi-day hiking including the Inca Trail.
  • A HAT, SCARF AND GLOVES FOR THOSE COLD MORNINGS AND EVENINGS.- You can buy fabulous Peruvian style hats and gloves at the local markets so don’t worry if you forget to bring these with you.
  • PACK YOUR TOILETRIES IN ZIP LOCK BAGS.- For some reason the altitude can cause shampoo and other bottles to pop leaving a nasty mess in your bag, Pack all toiletries in sealed bags to avoid any unnecessary mess.
  • INSECT REPELLENT.- particularly if you plan on going trekking or visiting Machu Picchu.
  • CAMERA.- with lots of memory and battery for all those great shots you are definitely going to want to take.
  • Take enough padlocks for every double zipper to stop wandering hands and lock up your important belongings, even in your hotel room.

Packing Essentials.

  • Passport with minimum 6 month validity left.
  • Photocopies of important documents like passport and tickets. Keep these separate from the originals.
  • Travel insurance. Get a quote for travel insurance with our travel insurance partners World Nomads.
  • Details of your next of kin.
  • Prescriptions for any medication you require. Most chemists will sell medicine over the counter without a prescription, but if you are searched by immigration it’s good to be able to show you require what you’re carrying.

The Altitude sickness?.

Altitude sickness is a common concern when traveling to Peru, especially in Cusco. At higher altitudes, the air has less oxygen, causing your body to work harder. To help your body adjust, spend at least two days in Cusco before starting any Andes trek. Embrace the vibrant city and explore while acclimating.

Altitude sickness can manifest as flu-like symptoms or hangover-like sensations. Common effects include headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping or exercising. If you experience severe symptoms, please contact our office, and we will assist you in consulting a doctor.

In most cases, the symptoms are mild. Take it easy at first and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water or coca tea. Coca tea has traditionally been used to combat altitude sickness. Its alkaloids help oxygenate your blood, reducing the impact of altitude sickness. Limit alcohol and coffee consumption, as they increase urination and dehydration. Avoid smoking, as it hampers oxygen absorption. Lastly, refrain from using sleeping pills, as they can affect your breathing during sleep.

About Weather.

The weather in Peru can be unpredictable, with the dry season generally running from April to October. However, even during this period, rain can still occur in June, and the sun can still shine in December. It is important to be prepared for all weather conditions. Regardless of the month, it is necessary to have rain gear, including a waterproof jacket, pants, poncho, and waterproof gloves. People often overlook the need for gloves, but the cold and humidity can make the hike very uncomfortable. Additionally, be prepared for various microclimates while trekking in the Andes. Layering is essential for easily adjusting to temperature changes. It is recommended to bring a warm and packable padded jacket for the cold nights.
