Which are the things we must have for a trekking or a ramble in Peru?

• Backpack for the transport of personal things. Plan 2 per capita; 1 big for your personal things, carried by mules (except the Inca trail) and a little one that you carry with the essential of the day.
• A rain cape allowing to protect you and your bag.
• A sleeping bag, with compact design (Plan -10° comfort preferably) and a duvet (silk or polar).
• Personal effects to protect you from the cold (gloves, bonnet, scarf), especially in high altitudes.
• Articles of protection from the sun (sunglasses, sunscreen, hat or headwear).
• Walking stick if you are used to (very useful for descents to limit the risks of sprain).
• High trekking shoes (the ideal; all ways waterproof).
• Second pair shoes for after the walk (like sandals).
• Personal first-aid-kit (in case of treatment, headaches, muscle aches and digestion problems or others…).
  
• A lamp (preferably headlamp) is very useful during bivouacs. Don’t forget the battery! Talking about it, slim line batteries of 4,5 V are impossible to find in South America.
• Tee-shirt and sweat-shirt.
• Trekking pants.
• Gourd.
• Short.
• Headwear/hat to protect you from the sun.
• Repellent, mosquito repellent.
• Toilet bag with a towel (microfiber).
• Bathing suit to accede to thermal baths (included in Lares Trekking).
• Original Identity card (Original Passport), documents linked with your insurance.
• Toilet paper.
• Money (in small change for personal expenses, tips in use).
• Paper tissues.
