By Jessica Peterson


Machu Picchu is an incredibly town that now lies in ruins. It is quite a site to behold. In order to enjoy the amazing scenery, you need to be comfortable. Therefore, think carefully when packing up for your trip. Once you have confirmed your Machu Picchu tour package booking, then start putting together stuff for your trip. Here are the most important things that you should pack.

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 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 will find some books helpful during this trip. This includes a Latin America Spanish phrasebook. It can help you learn some Spanish phrases, which you can use when talking to the locals. A guidebook can also give you a map of the area. It will also list some activities that you can do, as part of your trek.

Don't forget to pack your medicines. In case you forget, you can buy some from local pharmacies, but you might need a prescription in some cases. In addition, bring altitude sickness tabs and motion sickness tabs. An insect repellent will help to keep away insects from you.

Remember to bring along a camera and a water bottle. The scenery is so beautiful, you will definitely want to take some photos. In addition, you need to stay hydrated, so carry some water in a water bottle. There are some water bottles that can keep water cool, which will be quite refreshing for you.

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.
