What to Pack for a Salkantay Trek

You would have to wear your own supplies, including food and a blanket, if you make your own Salkantay Trek. You will therefore need to pack light without taking too many duplicate items (for example, just take one pair of trekking pants instead of two).

Seek to carry the package below 15 kilograms, the walk wont be difficult anymore. Try buying a store (horseman) in Mollepata if you are overweight.

They bill from 30-40 soles a day a mule, and an additional 30/40 soles a day, but they are a great support.

As you will be cooking your own food (go with 3 days worth of light food, like sachets of soup, ramen noodles etc), you will need to have fuel ignition cooking gear. Here are some good examples of camping cookware and camping gas stoves.
