いよいよ雨期が開け、今から半年間、マチュピチュは乾期。インカトレッキングのシーズン開始。このＧＷに出かける方のために、GAPより、インカトレック中の持ち物これだけはリスト をお贈りします。
インカ文明の残り香を楽しみながら、強烈な太陽の下を歩く３日間・・・、４日目の早朝、眼下に広がる静かなマチュピチュに出会う瞬間は、「歩いてよかった」と思わせるに十分。
どうぞ、よい旅を。
Here are some great tips from someone recently returned from Peru and the Inca trail - Kira Zack, from our own marketing department. Curious to know what items you might need to help you make it to Machu Picchu?? Then check out this Top 5 list of things to bring!
#1 Zip off pants which convert into shorts. The weather can change on a dime, especially depending on when you go. You may get rain, hot sun, or cool mountain air... all on the same day!
#2 Walking stick - The best $1 you'll ever spend. Your walking stick will be your constant companion to get you through all the ups and downs of the trail.
#3 Water bottle holder - Purchase one of these nifty items at any local craft market. Lightweight and easy to wear around your shoulder... it's perfect for easy access to your water bottles and beverages of choice, with room to throw in a snack or two.
#4 Good hiking boots and socks - and make sure they're well broken in!
#5 Extra batteries/film - You're at the Sun Gate enjoying a stunning view of Machu Picchu. Not the place you want your batteries to run out of juice or to realize you have finished your last roll of film. Bring extras.
