The Shor Inca Trail travels 12 kilometers in 2 days until Machu Picchu arrives. The tour already includes what is necessary to support the weight of the days of walking. However, the tourist must bring extra luggage that facilitates the importance of the route, such as personal items, batteries, rehydrating water, a sleeping bag, a camera, and more.
The Inca Trail is a hiking route protected by the Peruvian State, so we can only do it with a tour that includes the following:
Considering the route’s difficulty, the mountainous roads it travels, and the same duration, we recommend luggage that does not exceed 5 kilos in weight.
Carrying more than 5 kilos can perform the most challenging walk sections. Likewise, it can cause back pain.
What must contain this luggage in a backpack suitable for walking (waterproof, spacious, and fits nicely on the back)?
The backpack should hold at least 15-20 liters to hold enough water and spare clothes. It recommends having a raincoat cover the pack or using a bag inside. Check that the mountain equipment meets the following characteristics:
Just comfortable to wear.
