What to Pack for an Andean Trek: The Ultimate Hiking Checklist
Hiking the Andean trails—whether on the classic Inca Trail, the breathtaking Salkantay Trek, or the day-hike to Rainbow Mountain—is a life-changing experience. However, weather in the Andes is famous for being highly unpredictable; you can start your morning under a bright, warm sun and end the afternoon facing a freezing rain or hail. To enjoy the route comfortably, knowing how to pack is key. At Vista 1 Travel, we have built this ultimate checklist so you carry exactly what you need in your hiking backpack.
