I Wasn’t Prepared for My Machu Picchu Trek—Here’s What I Wish I Brought Instead
Don’t let a trip of a lifetime to Machu Picchu be ruined by forgetting the right gear. I learned this the hard way when I packed at the last minute and left my rain jacket behind. Luckily, a friend saved the day with a spare—but you don’t want to rely on chance.
Packing smart doesn’t mean overpacking. Whether you’re arriving by train, bus, or on foot, a few key essentials can make all the difference. Think comfortable hiking boots, insect repellent, and a lightweight daypack. To help you prepare, I gathered expert advice from pros at REI and Tambo del Inka, a luxury resort located in Peru’s Sacred Valley on the way to Machu Picchu. Here’s everything you’ll want on your packing list before setting off for one of the world’s most unforgettable adventures.
