Things To Pack Once You Book Your Machu Picchu Tour Package

By Jessica Peterson


Machu Picchu is an incredibly town that now lies in ruins. It is quite a site to behold. In order to enjoy the amazing scenery, you need to be comfortable. Therefore, think carefully when packing up for your trip. Once you have confirmed your Machu Picchu tour package booking, then start putting together stuff for your trip. Here are the most important things that you should pack.

You need to get yourself comfortable shoes. This is because you will be doing a lot of walking around. You can trek up to the ruins. This can take a few days, or even a couple of hours, depending on where you start trekking. Then once you get to the site, you will have to hike up the ruins for hours. There are a lot of rocks and loose stones in the area, so comfort is key when choosing shoes to wear. Since it can rain, get shoes that are water resistant too.

Pack up some clothes to wear. If you go during the rainy season, pack up some boots and rain coats and jackets. During hot weather, pack up a sun hat, your sun glasses and some light clothes. Remember that you are likely to take some pictures, so put on some nice clothes that will complement the picturesque backdrop.

You will need some warm clothes, as the weather can get pretty cold. This is even during warm months. The temperatures can be quite low just before the sun rises. But during the day it will get quite hot, so ensure that you have sunblock. Have a backpack to put your stuff in. Your backpack shouldn't be too big, as you will not be allowed to enter the site with a big backpack.

You might find it helpful to bring along a guidebook. It can give you information about the site and other things that go on around the site. Moreover, a Spanish phrasebook can be useful. Lookup a couple of phrases in Spanish to make it easier for you to converse with the local population.

Bring along your medications. Some medications can be bought at the town that is located close to the site, but you will need a subscription for some medicines, such as antibiotics. Carry some altitude sickness tabs, as you might get negatively affected by the high altitude. Motion sickness tabs can also come in handy, as the drive to the site can be quite bumpy. Insect repellent will also be useful in keeping bugs away.

Remember to bring along a camera and a water bottle. The scenery is so beautiful, you will definitely want to take some photos. In addition, you need to stay hydrated, so carry some water in a water bottle. There are some water bottles that can keep water cool, which will be quite refreshing for you.

It is essential that you carry your personal effects too. This includes things such as toothbrush, toothpaste, comb and even deodorant. Also, pack up a comb and some wet wipes. Carry them from home or buy them from the nearby town.
