WHAT TO BRING?
For a multi-day trip to Machu Picchu by train you’ll need to carry the following items:
Most travelers prefer to pack a small or medium-size wheeled suitcase, which is an ideal size for the storage capacity of our private vehicles. Regardless of what you bring, keep in mind that you will need to be able to carry your own luggage, handle it at airports, get in and out of your Hotel, and even walk short distances. Generally speaking, we recommend that you travel as little as possible. You will also need a backpack for activities and day trips. In terms of weight, airlines generally allow a maximum of 20kg for checked baggage.
In addition to the items and clothing you always need on a trip, here are some travel-specific packing tips:
ESSENTIAL:
- Closed shoes will help protect your feet from cuts and scrapes when walking in cities as well as in bushes/grasslands, and will also act as a protective barrier in rare cases of bites or stings.
- Sun protection – hat, sunscreen, sunglasses
- Original Passport, keep it in a dry and safe place while visiting Machu Picchu.
- Extra Cash in Soles, try to have in small coins to buy souvenirs.
- Camera for the good pictures.
- Sunscreen, insect repellent.
- Sunglasses.
RECOMMENDED:
- Electronic and/or hard copies of all important documents, plane tickets, passport, vaccination certificate, etc. and keep printed copies separate from originals. Although not valid, a copy makes it much easier to get replacements if needed.
- Water bottle. We recommend a capacity of at least 1.5 liters. The sale of bottled water contributes to a major environmental problem worldwide. In addition to bottled water, making a 1-liter plastic bottle requires 2 liters of water and 200 ml of oil. Much of it ends up in limited landfills or is released into waterways and natural settings.
- Electrical adapter plug.
- It is important to have a Personal medical kit. Your guide will carry a large kit but we recommend you carry items such as mild pain killers, electrolytes and bandaids.
- Fly spray
- You can use clock/alarm clock or phone for both
OPTIONAL:
- Earplugs to protect against possible snoring from a roommate
- Phrasebook
VALUABLE ITEMS:
Try to avoid bringing unnecessary valuables and use your hotel safe. It’s also a good idea to buy a money belt or pouch that is easy to hide.
LAUNDRY DETERGENT.
Laundry is available in many hotels and cities on this trip, but you may have to wait for a two-night layover to ensure you pick it up on time. While hotel laundry is usually charged per item, laundromats usually charge per kilo, which is usually inexpensive (around $2 per kilo).

Breakfast: If breakfast isn’t included, you can expect to pay $5-$10 at a local coffee shop.

Dinner: At dinner time, your chef will usually recommend restaurants where you can safely sample the local delicacies of the area. Expect meals to cost between $12 and $25 for an entree.
