Packing Information

Packing for Peru will be like trying to pack for a trip to the USA including both Hawaii and Alaska, a big city like Los Angeles, and the deserts of the American Southwest, all in the same trip.

 

Think in layers. It can get cold, wet, and extremely warm all in one day. Each destination we will be going to is vastly different from the next. The humidity is mostly rather high as well, so I’d recommend you to go for cotton or, or better yet, special fast drying outdoor clothes.

What NOT to Pack

The last suggestion is actually what NOT to pack. You’ll want to be sure to leave extra empty space in your suitcase before you arrive in Peru because this country has some of the most beautiful textiles in the world! You’ll be tempted to buy lots of alpaca sweaters, knit hats, colourful blankets, and other beautiful things. Do yourself a favour and leave yourself room to pick up things as you go.
