Inca Trail packing list and rental options
What to bring on the 4 day Inca trail?
We suggest to keep your personal items to a minimum weight. A good choice is to keep the total weight under 7 kg (15 pounds).Consider to hire a porter for your personal belongings if you do not want to carry them. A personal porter will take the luggage of two people (max. 15 kg). We have made up the following packing list for the Inca Trail which we think fits best.
