What to Pack for an Andean Trek: The Ultimate Hiking Checklist
Hiking the Andean trails—whether on the classic Inca Trail, the breathtaking Salkantay Trek, or the day-hike to Rainbow Mountain—is a life-changing experience. However, weather in the Andes is famous for being highly unpredictable; you can start your morning under a bright, warm sun and end the afternoon facing a freezing rain or hail. To enjoy the route comfortably, knowing how to pack is key. At Cusco Land Expeditions, we have built this ultimate checklist so you carry exactly what you need in your hiking backpack.
