Carry-on bag
You are allowed one carry-on bag per person. We suggest a tote or small backpack that can be

camera, etc—during driving excursions and walking trips. Consider a backpack or waistpack
that keeps both hands free and distributes the pack’s weight onto your back or hips.

the extension. You will need it for the train trip to and from Machu Picchu because there is

hotel in Sacred Valley, travel to Machu Picchu, stay overnight, and then return to the Sacred
Valley) Since you’ll only be without your suitcase for one night, some previous travelers have
suggested re-purposing your carry-on for this train trip. A waterproof bag is preferable, as is a
bag that locks.

theft-prevention measure.
Clothing Suggestions
Functional Tips
As you will experience a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions, we suggest
several layers of clothing. You can buy clothing designed especially for travel, with features
like wrinkle-resistant fabric or built-in sun protection.
• Rain gear: You’ll want fairly good quality rain gear for your jungle visit.
