A good night's rest and a little extra support when you need it can make your trek much more comfortable. At Salkantay Trekking, we help you find any gear you're missing so you can enjoy your adventure with greater ease.
Before You Rent: Check what's included in your itinerary. Some items may already be part of the trek you've booked with us.
Uphill climbs, downhill sections, and stone steps are easier to manage with a little extra support. We've tested different trekking poles on our routes and selected these two high-quality models for their comfortable grips, durability, and easy adjustment.
If you'd rather leave your own poles at home, you can rent them from us and spend your time in Cusco exploring the city instead of visiting outdoor gear stores.
Lightweight and Quick to Adjust
At just 195 g per pole, this model provides lightweight support throughout your hike. Its quick-release lever lock makes adjusting the length easy, while the EVA foam grip feels comfortable in your hand.
Shock Absorption You Can Turn On or Off
Its antishock system helps cushion the impact when the pole touches the ground, and you can turn it off whenever you prefer firmer support. The foam grip and soft wrist strap provide a comfortable hold throughout your hike.
Getting cozy at the end of the day is part of the adventure, too. Rent your sleeping bag from us and save space in your luggage. We'll select one based on the altitude and conditions of your route, with your comfort throughout the night in mind.
Its duck-down filling helps keep you warm throughout the night. At 218 cm long, it's the longest of our three models with confirmed dimensions, something we'll take into account when preparing your gear.
A feather-filled option weighing just 1 kg to keep you company on your nights at camp. Its snug, wraparound shape helps you settle in and stay warm while you recharge for the next day's adventure.
Its duck-down filling helps retain warmth throughout the night. It also features Down Defender treatment, which protects the down from moisture to help maintain its insulating performance.
*The comfort temperature is your main reference for a good night's rest, while the extreme temperature is a survival rating.
Before Your Trek: The Right Size for You: If you're taller than 2 m (6 ft 7 in), please let us know in advance so we can prepare a sleeping bag that fits your height.
Clean and Well Cared For: We wash each sleeping bag after every trek and use it for a maximum of 30 treks, so it's clean and well maintained when it accompanies you on your adventure.
Having a little help along the way can make your adventure even more enjoyable. If you're feeling tired or would simply prefer some extra support during your hike, you can request a horse for the sections where this service is available.

Temperatures can vary considerably depending on altitude, season, and weather conditions. Before choosing your sleeping bag, keep the characteristics of your trek in mind.
Important: These temperatures are general guidelines. Your final choice will depend on the expected conditions, how sensitive you are to the cold, and the sleeping bag's specifications. Remember that comfort temperature and lower limit temperature are not the same thing.
Trekking poles can become great companions on your adventure. They provide extra stability on uneven terrain and help distribute the effort during uphill and downhill sections.
Remember: Always check that the locking mechanisms are securely fastened before continuing your hike.

Don't worry! Our team will help you return everything once you're finished using it.
Even if you have hiking experience, trekking poles can still be very useful. They provide additional support on slopes, stone steps, and uneven terrain. How helpful they are will depend on the route, how much weight you're carrying, and your personal hiking preferences.
We ask that you return the equipment clean, dry, and properly packed, removing any mud, stains, or dirt accumulated during your adventure as much as possible.
If the equipment is damaged, excessively damp, or requires special cleaning, additional charges may apply according to our terms and conditions.
We want you to enjoy your adventure without unnecessary worries. Before reserving your equipment, we invite you to review our rental terms and conditions.
