I’ve booked a multi-day Trail. How big should my daypack be?

27 March, 2026

It’s best to bring a small backpack of 30–35 liters for the Trail. You should pack clean clothes for four days, lightweight slippers, some snacks for extra energy during tough moments, 0.5–1 liter of water, a few toiletries, and good sun protection. All of this fits easily in a backpack of up to 35 liters. Preferably, choose a backpack that allows you to attach a sleeping bag and sleeping mat on the outside—ask at an outdoor store for options. Check our packing list for multi-day Trails for more details.

A sleeping mat is included in the cost of your Trail. A sleeping bag can be rented through us for a small fee, but advance reservation is required.

Trails

You want to visit Machu Picchu, but how do you get there? The Incas once had only one option: walking the ancient Trail. Today, you can still follow in their footsteps. And did you know there are even more routes leading to Machu Picchu?

Tours & Day Trips

Besides the Inca Trail and a visit to Machu Picchu, you can enjoy a variety of great day trips from Cusco.
