Our Camping & Hiking Equipment

Eureka Timberline SQ 4XT Tent

Your own space to unwind after exploring Choquequirao. Although this tent is designed for four people, we assign just two travelers to each one, giving you plenty of room to stretch out and organize your belongings.

Its two doors make getting in and out easier, while the mesh panels allow air to circulate and help keep insects outside.

We chose this model for Choquequirao because it provides ventilation in the warmer sections of the route and a comfortable place to rest at the end of the day.

Why Do We Use It on the Choquequirao Trek? We prioritize ventilation for the warmer sections of this route, along with a sheltered space where you can rest comfortably.

Doite Pro Aconcagua 3 Tent

After hiking through Ausangate, Lares, Inca Quarry, Ancascocha, or the Inca Trail, having a sheltered place to rest feels especially good.

Although this tent is designed for three people, we assign just two travelers to each one, giving you room to settle in and store your belongings comfortably.

Its two doors make access easier, while the rainfly and floor, both with a 5,000 mm waterproof rating, help keep the interior dry. We chose this model for these routes because its four-season design provides protection against changing mountain conditions.

Why Do We Use It on the Inca Trail? On the Inca Trail, you'll pass through cold mountain areas and humid sections of cloud forest. We chose this tent so that, at the end of each day, you'll have shelter from the rain and wind, with a comfortable space to rest and get ready for what's next.

Marmot Thor 3P Tent

Arriving at camp and having room to stretch out and relax is one of those simple pleasures after a long hike. Designed for three people but shared by just two, this tent offers a spacious interior and storage pockets to keep your belongings within reach.

Its four-season design provides shelter against changing mountain conditions. The rainfly, with a 3,000 mm waterproof rating and taped seams, helps keep the rain out. Two doors make access easier, while reflective details help you spot your tent when returning after dark.

Routes Where We Use It: Ausangate, Lares, Inca Quarry, and Ancascocha.

Dining and Kitchen Tents

A hot meal and a good conversation are even better in a sheltered space. Designed by our own team, our tents have separate kitchen and dining areas, so you can relax at the table while our cooks prepare your meals.

Made with rubber-coated waterproof canvas and linen, these tents are suitable for all four seasons, even on demanding routes like Ausangate, where cooking high in the mountains comes with its own challenges.

Camping Chairs and Tables

Sitting down to rest, enjoying a freshly prepared meal, and sharing stories from the day are all part of the adventure. Our high-back chairs and aluminum tables give you a comfortable place to enjoy these breaks in the mountains.

Cleanwaste Toilet Tent

Feeling comfortable in the mountains also means having a little privacy when you need it. Our toilet tent includes a foldable Naturehike portable toilet that's easy to use and set up away from the other campsite areas.

Our team transports and sets it up at the campsites where we spend the night. We can also arrange to set it up when you need it, depending on the conditions at each location.

We use waste collection bags and carry them out for proper disposal, helping protect the landscapes we share.

Routes Where We Use It: Inca Trail, Ausangate, Choquequirao, Huchuy Qosqo, Lares, Inca Quarry, and Ancascocha.

Duffel Bag

Hike with just the essentials and leave the rest to us. You can use this bag to pack extra clothing, toiletries, and anything you'll need when you reach camp. Depending on the route, our porters or pack animals will take care of carrying it.

Its reinforced handles and durable zippers make it a practical companion throughout your adventure. Remember to protect your belongings with waterproof bags inside, as the duffel bag itself isn't completely waterproof.

Remember: Your duffel bag travels separately, so you won't be able to access it during the hike. Keep your water, warm layers, rain gear, documents, medications, and valuables in your daypack.

Snack Bag

On the first day of your trek, you'll receive this cloth bag filled with snacks. Keep it in your backpack and refill it at breakfast each morning, so you'll have something tasty to enjoy along the way.

Our designers and sewing team make these reusable bags to help reduce single-use packaging and protect the places we visit. They're also a simple way to make sure you have a little treat ready whenever it's time for a break on the trail.

A Little Bag That Joins Many Adventures: At the end of your trek, please return your snack bag to your guide. We'll wash it and get it ready for the next travelers to enjoy.

Backpack Cover

When the weather changes during your hike, a little extra protection for your backpack can make a big difference. Our rain cover helps shield your belongings from rain, mud, and dust, while its elastic fit keeps it securely in place.

It's lightweight and features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that helps water bead up and roll off the surface, reducing the amount of moisture absorbed by the fabric.

Extra Protection for Your Most Important Belongings: Although our rain cover provides protection from the rain, we recommend keeping electronics and documents in waterproof bags inside your backpack for extra protection on particularly rainy days.

Exponent ABD-3-8009 Trekking Pole

Lightweight and easy to adjust, this trekking pole gives you extra support as you move at your own pace. Its aluminum construction combines durability with low weight, while the EVA foam grip provides a comfortable hold throughout your hike.

The telescopic design and quick-lock system make it easy to adjust the length to your height and the slopes along the route.

Forclaz MT500 Antishock Trekking Pole

On those stretches where a little extra support comes in handy, this trekking pole offers a comfortable foam grip and a soft wrist strap. Its shock-absorbing system helps cushion the impact each time the pole touches the ground, and you can turn it off when you prefer firmer support.

Its three telescopic sections let you adjust the length and collapse the pole for storage when you don't need it.

Mountain Equipment Sleeping Bag

After a day of hiking, there's nothing quite like settling into a warm sleeping bag and getting some rest. Its mummy-shaped design follows the contours of your body, while the duck-down insulation helps retain warmth throughout the night.

Wolfs Mountain Sleeping Bag

At the end of the day, settle in, get warm, and enjoy some well-deserved rest surrounded by the mountains. Its mummy-shaped design narrows toward the feet to help retain warmth while you sleep.

Marmot Sleeping Bag

There's something especially comforting about getting warm and letting your body rest after a day on the trail. Its 650-fill-power duck down provides insulation to help retain heat, while the Down Defender treatment helps protect the down from moisture.

Sea to Summit Camp Plus Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad

A cushioned place to give your body a break after hiking. Its 7.5 cm (3 in) thickness and foam core help smooth out uneven ground while providing insulation from the cold.

The Large size gives you room to stretch out, and you can adjust the firmness using the valve to find the support that feels most comfortable.

Tatoo Air Camping Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad

Settle onto its rectangular surface and enjoy some well-deserved rest. Its 3.8 cm (1.5 in) thickness provides a layer of cushioning between you and the ground, while the inner foam helps insulate you from the cold.

Its durable fabric and compact design make it a practical choice for our nights at camp. You can also adjust the firmness to suit your comfort.

Foam Sleeping Pad

On colder nights, we also pay attention to what's beneath you while you sleep. We make these foam pads to complement our self-inflating sleeping pads, adding another layer of insulation between your body and the ground.

We have two sizes designed to fit our two self-inflating pad models, so both layers fit together when we prepare your sleeping space.

Extra Insulation Where You Need It Most: We use these pads together with our self-inflating models on colder routes such as Ausangate, Ancascocha, and Lares. We also bring them on the Inca Trail, especially to provide extra insulation on the second night. In warmer areas, we use only the self-inflating pad.

Microfleece Sleeping Bag Liner

On colder nights, an extra layer of warmth makes bedtime feel even cozier. This liner fits inside your sleeping bag, surrounding you with the soft feel of microfleece as you settle in for the night.

We design and make these liners at Salkantay Trekking to meet the needs of our routes. We use them on Ausangate, Lares, Ancascocha, Inca Quarry, and during the first night of the Salkantay Trek at Sky Camp.

An Extra Layer of Warmth, Included: Your liner comes with your sleeping bag at no additional cost, whether the sleeping bag is included in your itinerary or rented from us.

Camping Pillow

Resting your head on a pillow and getting comfortable after a long day is a little pleasure you can enjoy in the mountains, too. Our pillow combines soft padding with a smooth, comfortable cover to make your rest more enjoyable.

We design and make these pillows at Salkantay Trekking with our travelers in mind. Their compact, lightweight size makes them a simple addition to your sleeping space.

Hot Water Bottle

Our cooks started calling it the "baby," and our travelers affectionately adopted the name. It's a hot water bottle with a soft, colorful cover that gives you a little extra warmth as you settle in at the end of the day.

We usually hand it out around dinnertime on colder routes like Ausangate, Lares, Ancascocha, and Inca Quarry, as well as on the first night of the Salkantay Trek at Sky Camp.

You can use it to warm up your sleeping bag and enjoy some comforting heat as you unwind after a challenging hike.

Remember: If you're feeling cold and haven't received your "baby" yet, just ask our cooks. They'll be happy to prepare one for you. Always use it with its cover and avoid direct contact with your skin.
