To Get Gear


Undoubtedly, you’ll be doing some outdoor adventures on a trip to Peru, and you may want to purchase top-quality gear. You can buy items locally, but the quality cannot rival the classics like Patagonia, Colombia and North Face. If you plan on sticking to day hikes and maybe some trail running, check out Salomon. A quality Travel Agency will usually provide excellent gear and equipment, plus they will have additional options such as an air mattress or sleeping bags of a high standard, for rental, to save on your weight allowance on the international flight.
