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.

It is important that you wear comfortable shoes. This is because you will spend most of your time trekking. Even if you do not trek to the ruins, you will walk around for hours when hiking the ruins. The site has loose stones and it can get pretty rocky, so you need shoes that are firm and stable. In addition, it can get wet, so waterproof shoes are recommended.

Put on clothes that are suitable for the weather. During hot weather, carry clothes that are light, a sunhat and sunglasses. During wet seasons, have on a jacket and raincoat. It is important that you wear comfortable clothes. You can never go wrong with putting on jeans, when visiting the site. Keep in mind that you are likely to take lots of photos, so put on clothes that will look nice in the photos.

It can get chilly, even during warm months. Therefore, carry something warm to put on. It will most likely be cold, early in the morning, just before the sun is about to rise. Layer dressing would be ideal for this situation. Have a backpack, where you can put your clothes as you remove them, as the day get hotter. The backpack should be small or medium in size, as large backpacks are not allowed into the site.

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.

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.

Bring your personal effects. This includes things such as deodorant, cream, toothbrush and a comb. You can also carry wet wipes and lip balm. You can either come with them or buy them from the town that is close to the site.
