One of the most interesting,
short and accessible treks in the region is the one
leading to the enigmatic Inkan City of
Machu Picchu.
The best time to do the
Inca Trail is during our dry
season between May to September; however, this does
not mean that there is no possibility of getting
rains or showers because they simply are
unforeseeable even by this season. The first thing
when getting ready is to get the necessary camping
equipment. When dealing with organized excursions,
normally the tour operators supply all that is
necessary except for the personal equipment that may
also be rented in the several specialized agencies
by the Qosqo's downtown area. The elementary
equipment items are a tent, a backpack, sleeping bag
or blanket, insulating pad, rain gear, trekking
boots, food for the 3 or 4 walking days, etc.
If the trek is carried out by the traveler's own,
then he must be very careful about the equipment to
be carried. Besides the items already indicated he
must get the following elements: canteen, flashlight,
matches, knife, cooking gear with stove, pots, jars,
fork and spoon, candles. Food consisting of light
products such as instant soups, noodles or
spaghetti, fish cans, cheese, ham, rice, semolina,
salt, pepper; dry fruits, oats, powdered milk,
instant tea, coffee or chocolate; refreshment packs,
jam, butter, candies, bread (kept in plastic bags it
will be O.K. till the last day). Even more,
