I’m planning a solo trip including Salkantay (Peru) and Uyuni (Bolivia), and would love some general advice.
I’ll be traveling independently with just one backpack, mixing trekking with city travel.
I’m also upgrading my gear (my current setup is over 10 years old), so I’m looking for updated cost-benefit suggestions.
Backpack
- What size would you recommend (40L vs 50L)?
- Any specific brands or models worth considering?
Boots
- What type of boots would you use for this route?
- Any specific models or brands you recommend?
Extra
- Any tips from people who have done Salkantay + Uyuni?
- Common mistakes or things to avoid?
- Recommendations for accommodation or gear rental (e.g. trekking poles) in Cusco?
Thanks!
