It’s important to have all the necessary equipment in order to enjoy your Huchuy Qosqo trek. The essential items are a must, and all hikers should buy or rent good quality equipment.

They should have the following details: university information, personal information, a student photo, and a valid date no later than December 31 of the year of travel.

·         Hiking boots: Light, comfortable, and broken in. Make sure your shoes are not too tight or too loose. They should provide enough room for your toes to wiggle without being too spacious.

·         Rain Pants: They are not often used and are not comfortable for the Inca Trail, but if you have, you can bring them.

·         Gaiters (Optional): They are not often used on the Inca Trail. If you have one, you can bring it; I don’t recommend buying a new one.

·         Warm layers: A base layer, a mid-layer of fleece or down, and a waterproof shell layer.

·         Sun cream: Bring a high-factor sunscreen.

·         Lip balm: With SPF protection.

·         Warm jacket: Temperatures can drop sharply at night, so wear warm layers when the sun goes down. Don’t forget to pack a hat and gloves!

·         T-shirts (wicking T-shirts are best): Synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon are good options, as they wick away sweat and dry quickly. Avoid cotton shirts, as they hold onto moisture. Take around 5 T-shirts.

·         2-3 hiking pants/trousers: There are two main types of hiking pants. Cargo pants have large pockets on the sides of the legs, which are great for carrying extra gear. Convertible pants have legs that zip off at the knee, making them perfect for hot weather or changing conditions on the trail.

·         Leggings work very well for ladies on the treks.

·         4 sets of undergarments, wearing a sports bra, and compression shorts will help keep you comfortable and prevent chafing.

·         4 sets of hiking socks, make sure the socks are made from a breathable material like wool or synthetic fibers.

·         1 Fleece: A fleece jacket or pullover is a good choice; you can layer it with other clothing if necessary.

·         1 Warm, down jacket for the coldest nights. The best jackets are made of down or synthetic insulation, keeping you warm even when wet.

·         Quick-dry towel: This is a must-have for anyone planning to hike the Inca Trail.

·         Biodegradable soap: To break down quickly and safely in nature, so it won’t pollute the trail or harm any wildlife.

·         Wet wipes: pack plenty of wet wipes! The trail can be dusty and dirty, so keeping your skin clean is essential.

·         Toothbrush and paste: Make sure the brush and paste are small and compact for camping trips.

·         Face moisturizer, high altitude, and the harsh sun can damage skin.

·         Power bank/battery charger: You should use your phone in airplane mode and have a power bank with you; we recommend one with 20,000 mAh.

·         Plastic bags to keep wet or muddy clothes separate.
