Hi everyone,

we’re planning to do the 5-day Salkantay Trek in September in Peru, and we’re pretty unsure about what we actually need to pack. We probably still have way too much on our list, but we’re not really sure what we can leave out 😅

We’d really appreciate any tips, recommendations, or things you wish you had/didn’t bring!

Here’s our current packing list idea:

- Backpack
- Hiking boots
- Flip-flops
- 2x thicker hiking pants
- 1x lighter hiking pants (leggings?)
- Shorts
- 4–5 T-shirts
- 1–2 fleece sweaters/jackets
- Puffer jacket
- Rain jacket
- Beanie / cap
- 2x thermal underwear sets for sleeping
- Sweatpants?
- Fleece sweater for sleeping
- 7 pairs of socks
- 7 pairs of underwear
- 2 sports bras
- Swimsuit
- Small first aid kit
- Headlamp
- Power bank
- Microfiber towel
- Body wipes
- Refillable water bottle
- Small cash
- Passport
- Student ID
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- Mosquito spray

Thanks a lot for any advice! 🙏
