Essential tips for your Peru hiking trips

Planning your Peru hiking trip? Whether you’re trekking the iconic Inca Trail or exploring the rugged Salkantay Trek, proper preparation is key to a successful adventure.

  1. Acclimate to the altitude: Arrive 2-3 days early in Cusco to adjust to the high altitudes. Drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol, and rest during the first days. Coca tea can help ease altitude sickness.
  2. Choose the right trek: For beginners, try the Lares Trek or the Inca Trail. Experienced trekkers can tackle the more challenging Salkantay or Ausangate Treks.
  3. Pack smart: Bring quick-dry clothing, a small daypack, good hiking boots, and sun protection. Always carry a water bottle and snacks.
  4. Respect local culture: Learn a few words in Quechua or Spanish and ask permission before taking photos in indigenous communities.
  5. Stay hydrated: Keep drinking water regularly, especially at high altitudes. Carry a refillable water bottle, and consider water purification tablets.
  6. Wear proper footwear: Opt for waterproof boots with ankle support and make sure they are broken in before your trek.
  7. Take It slow: Pace yourself on steep ascents and enjoy the breathtaking views along the way.
  8. Pack for all weather: Weather in the mountains can change quickly. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and layers to adjust to temperature shifts.
  9. Book Early: Reserve your trekking package 2-3 months ahead, especially for the popular Inca Trail, as permits sell out quickly.
  10. Travel Light: Bring a lightweight camera or smartphone to capture memories without overloading your pack.

Frequently asked questions about the treeking tours

Have you thought about hiking or trekking tours in Peru? We offer the best trekking in the Andes and various Peruvian destinations you’ve dreamed of. Here, we explain our travelers’ questions, from what to bring to how to choose the best one.

Trekking tours vary in difficulty depending on the chosen route. There are options for beginners with gentle, low-altitude trails, as well as more advanced treks that require good physical condition, mountaineering skills, and the ability to walk for several days on difficult terrain. Most tour operators provide detailed descriptions of each tour’s difficulty so that travelers can choose the one that best suits them.

For a trekking tour, it is essential to bring suitable clothing for long-distance walking, such as durable hiking boots, lightweight and breathable clothes, and waterproof or windproof jackets. A comfortable backpack, water bottle, sunscreen, insect repellent, headlamp, and first aid kit are also recommended. If the trek includes overnight camping, it’s important to bring camping gear, such as a sleeping bag and tent.

The best time for a trekking tour depends on the region where the tour takes place. Generally, the dry season is recommended, as routes are more accessible and weather conditions are more favorable. In mountainous regions, the months from May to October are usually the best. However, each destination has its ideal season, so it’s important to consult the tour operator about the climate and the best dates for each route.

A trekking tour is safe when done with a reliable tour operator that provides experienced guides and proper equipment. The guides are trained to handle emergencies and offer support throughout the journey. It is important to follow all safety recommendations, such as staying with the group, wearing the proper gear, and respecting trail rules. It’s also crucial to be in good physical condition to safely undertake the trek without risking your health.

Most trekking tours require a minimum level of physical fitness, especially on more challenging routes. However, there are options for different skill levels, and some tour operators offer trekking for beginners. If you’re new to trekking or not used to walking long distances, it’s recommended to prepare in advance by doing walks or endurance training to ensure you enjoy the experience.

Yes, many tour operators offer trekking tours designed for beginners or those with no previous experience. These tours are usually short in duration and take place on easy trails with little altitude or technical difficulty. However, it is important to be physically prepared for the trek, especially if it will be in mountainous areas or on uneven terrain. Some operators also provide recommendations on how to prepare for these tours.
