CLASSIC INCA TRAIL 4D/3N – PACKING GUIDE
When it comes to conquering the classic Inca Trail, less is more! To keep things manageable (and your back happy), we recommend packing light. You’ll want to keep your daypack under 5 kg (11lbs) and your duffle bag under 7 kg (15 lbs). This includes your sleeping bag and air mattress. Remember, you’ll carry your daypack throughout the hike, so pack only what you need for the day. Our amazing porters will transport your duffle bag from campsite (if you choose to hire one), but you won’t have access to it during the hike so plan accordingly! If you don’t hire a porter, you will need to carry all your items.
You’ll be off the grid without signal, and just stunning mountains and ancient trails. To make the most of this experience, bring the right gear. Quality counts, so invest in or rent the best!
Headlamp or flashlight.
Original passport (required for entry; must be valid for at least the next 6 months, copies not accepted!).

Comfortable daypack (lightweight, cozy, and large than 25l).

Trekking poles (highly recommended and available for rent).
