This was actually kinda perfect timing for me as for a the past 6 or so months of constantly travelling, I’d wanted to switch from a generic single compartment suitcase to one that had multiple compartments which I could use to organise my stuff when I travelled. In any case, to help you avoid the stress and potential panic, at least to some extent, we’ve put together this list of items you need to pack for your trip to Peru!ġ.) Let’s start with the biggest and the most important item on the list – your suitcase/luggage!Ī few weeks before our Peru trip, I’d just broken the wheel on my ‘old reliable’ suitcase so I was in the market for a new one for Peru. Like seriously, it was just such a different prep involved in getting ready for Peru! …and don’t get me started on the potential of altitude sickness, which meant I had to have meetings with my doctor in advance to make sure I got the right medication to help prevent altitude sickness something I’d never done on any other trip before. The scenery is as diverse as the villages of Lake Titicaca (which macro lens are perfect for) right up to the expansive citadel of Machu Picchu (where wide-angle lens are absolutely essential) so you need to make sure you’ve got everything you need… I’m not gonna miss out on the opportunity of photographing a condor just because I ‘ didn’t feel like’ taking my zoom lens with me. Then there’s the fact that you’re going to be seeing some of the most amazing sights in the world and this is no time for packing light and forgetting things like your extra camera lens, GoPro or tripod… y’know, that stuff you absolutely need to travel with. If the temperature rises, there’s nowhere to hide in the shade. Then there’s the fact that we would be doing things like hiking (I’m not a natural hiker – I’ve said this time and time again) but unlike the hikes I’ve been on in the past, there’s no escaping the elements. There are very few places in the world where you can go from needing a winter coat one minute to being uncomfortable in anything but shorts and a t-shirt the next.
It goes from freezing to positively tropical in just a few short hours so when it comes to packing clothes, you’ve got to go far and wide. For starters, there’s the whole temperature difference.
