Things To Pack Once You Book Your Machu Picchu Tour Package

By Jessica Peterson


Machu Picchu is a popular tourist destination that is located in Peru. It is one of those places that you should make an effort to visit, if you are an adventurous person. Once you have finalized the details and booking for your Machu Picchu tour package, the next step is to start packing up for your trip. For your trip to go well, you have to bring the right things for this journey. Here are some necessary items you should pack up.

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.

It tends to get cold on most days, just before the sun goes up. Therefore, carry something warm that you can put on at such times. As the day goes on, the weather will get hotter and hotter. So, layer dressing would be the ideal solution for you. Bring along a backpack, where you can put your clothes, as you take them off. Use sunscreen, as the sun can get pretty hot.

You will need some important books. You can get a Spanish phrasebook. This will be helpful when you are conversing with locals. Like let's say when you go to buy something in the supermarkets. In addition, a guidebook will give you ideas about things you can do during your visit.

If you are taking any medicines, it is okay for you to carry them. There are pharmacies in the nearby town, so you can buy whatever medicines you need from there. Altitude sickness medicines can be helpful in case you get negatively affected by the high altitude, so bring some tabs. Also, if you suffer from motion sickness, carry a few tabs.

You need to stay hydrated during the trip. So, carry a water bottle. If you can get one which can keep the water cool, so much the better as it will be so refreshing to get a cold drink especially on hot sunny days. Pack a camera or a phone that has a camera, which you will use to take pictures.

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.
