Fantastic Peru 11d/10n EXPERINCE

Recommended Packing List: 11-Day Peru Adventure & Inca Jungle

For this expedition, you must prepare for drastic climatic shifts: from 30?C (86?F) in the Ica desert to -5?C (23?F) at Rainbow Mountain.

Essential Documentation (Highest Priority)

• Original Passport: Mandatory for all checkpoints, boarding the train, and entering Machu Picchu. You will be denied entry to the sanctuary without your original physical document.
• Travel Insurance: A digital or physical copy that specifically covers adventure activities (mountain biking, rafting, and ziplining).
• Cash in Soles (PEN): Necessary for small entrance fees (such as the Santa Teresa hot springs), tips, snacks, and local community purchases.

Gear for the Inca Jungle Trek

• Daypack (20L - 30L): To carry daily essentials during the trek. Your main luggage will stay in storage in Cusco.
• Trekking Boots: Waterproof boots with good ankle support and high-traction soles (ensure they are well broken-in).
• Synthetic Clothing (Moisture-wicking): Quick-dry t-shirts for biking and jungle hiking. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and cold.
• Waterproof Layer: A high-quality rain jacket or poncho is essential for Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.
• Swimwear & Light Towel: Indispensable for the rafting excursion and the Santa Teresa hot springs.

Extreme Climate Protection

• Heavy Cold Layer: A thermal or down jacket, gloves, and a wool hat for Rainbow Mountain (Day 10) and the high pass at Abra Malaga.
• High-Grade Sun Protection: Sunscreen (SPF 50+), UV-filter sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat. Andean radiation is among the highest in the world.
• Insect Repellent (Strong): Vital for the jungle sections (Santa Teresa and Aguas Calientes) to prevent mosquito bites.

Health & Technology

• Power Bank: Cold temperatures and long trekking days will drain phone batteries rapidly.
• Personal Medical Kit: Altitude sickness medication (Sorojchi pills), painkillers, and blister pads/moleskin.
• Reusable Water Bottle: For constant hydration, which is the most effective way to prevent altitude sickness.

Critical Operational Note

For Day 09 (Machu Picchu), the train operators restrict luggage to a small bag of 5kg to 8kg (11-17 lbs) per person. You must pack your essentials for the jungle and Machu Picchu in your daypack, leaving your main suitcase in the secure storage of your hotel in Cusco or Urubamba

Student Rates

OBTAINING A STUDENT DISCOUNT FOR YOUR MACHU PICCHU TRIP

Peru's government provides reduced Machu Picchu entry fees for students, and we pass these savings directly into our tour prices. To qualify for this discount, the following requirements must be met:

1. Age Limit: You must be younger than 25 at the time of your visit. This policy applies strictly to undergraduate degree students.
2. Card Material and Format: Your university ID must be a physical plastic card (similar to a credit card) with all details officially printed. Paper cards, handwritten info, or stickers added to the card are strictly prohibited.
3. Required Details: The ID needs to prominently display the university name, your personal information, a clear photo, and an expiration date valid for the year of travel. For example, if traveling in 2026, the card must be currently active and not expire before the end of the year.
4. ISIC Limitations: Although the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is widely used worldwide, the Peruvian authorities do not accept it for Machu Picchu discounts. Only your official university-issued ID is valid.

Because the Peruvian government strictly enforces these discount rules, you are required to present your qualifying student ID at the Machu Picchu checkpoints. Failure to meet these exact standards may result in having to pay the full adult ticket price or potentially being denied entry if tickets are sold out. Therefore, please verify your student card meets all criteria before finalizing your reservation.
