Peru Packing List for a 6 Day Trip
My packing list for our trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu. I did not bring that hat with me though, LOL...

I always create lists to help pack for trips (I put them in Notes in my iPhone so I can add things as I think of them), so I figured I'd share in case it's helpful to someone else. Here's a list of what I brought to Peru, all in my carry-on and a small backpack (personal item).
I always group them between three categories: 1) what I plan to wear on the plane (which is important because it usually has to be comfy enough to sleep in but also often includes my bulkiest items, like hiking boots or warm weather jackets); 2) what I will pack in my suitcase; and 3) what I will put in my purse or backpack (personal item).
This particular trip consisted of a lot of hiking--in relatively cold weather at times--so that's why you'll see a lot of activewear and cold weather clothing.
So without further ado, here is what I packed for our 6 day trip to Peru, leaving nothing out.

Covid tests! - at the time we went, the US was still requiring a negative Covid test to get back into the country. I have found that the best way to go about this is to bring at-home (but virtually monitored) Covid tests so that you can do them in the comfort of your hotel room rather than have to go to a testing cli
