Most people know the standard items to pack when traveling abroad. But many people tend to overlook a few items such as their credit card costs, how to communicate such as through translation, or how to save your stomach from traveler's diarrhea.

One of the big-ticket items to bring when traveling to Peru includes baby wipes. Especially when trekking or due to the smog, baby wipes help to feel fresh after a long day of activity.

If you're out trekking on the Inca Trail or Salkantay Trek, we recommend you bring some baby powder. If you end up chafing, you're not gonna feel good on a multi-day hike. That's gonna hurt…

If you don't speak Spanish, don't get nervous. That's why we love the power of the internet. Google Translate is an excellent resource to help you communicate.

It's also a good idea to bring some cash. Cash is king. But we do lay out some cost-saving tips if you have a credit card.

Finally, if you want to try all the amazing street food, don't forget your Pepto-Bismol tablets. It's gonna save your stomach.

Many people have questions in regards to what they can and cannot bring inside the Machu Picchu complex.

The number one item to bring in to Machu Picchu? Your passport. There is absolutely no way that you will be able to get a ticket to see Machu Picchu without a passport. Be sure to be on the lookout for the Machu Picchu passport stamp once you are there.

Be sure to bring a backpack to hold your hat, sunscreen, snacks, and water. However, take care that the backpack is not too large. There are certain dimensions allowed for your pack inside Machu Picchu, and it isn't big.

We cover how to all the furry critters and creatures you might see in Machu Picchu including chinchillas.

When you're in Peru it can rain, especially during the rainy season, so be sure to pack a poncho or rain jacket.

Finally, don't forget your cash, cuz you ain't going to the bathroom without a few soles.

Be sure to listen to the end to find out the "interesting" clothing items that you should not wear if you want to get inside.

Welcome to the Peru Travel Podcast!

In this episode, we cover everything fitness, training, gear, and nutrition to make sure you are successful on your Inca Trail, Salkantay Trek, or Extreme Inca Tour. We discuss the training that you should do so you don't end up hating your life while out on the treks. Your best bet is to slap a backpack on with some weight and go for a hike a few times prior to your trip to Peru.

David talks about the nutrition required so that you have enough energy to sustain yourself on a difficulty multiday hike. At Cachi Life, we love Clif Bars and Beef Jerky. Just don't eat all your snacks on the first day. And it's probably best to avoid the booze.

What is the best gear to bring that you may not think of? You shouldn't leave without your toothbrush or toothpaste. But, we REALLY like baby wipes. It can be tough to keep that clean feeling when you haven't been able to shower for four days.

Finally, we cover why you NEED to book your trip on the Inca Trail at least 6 months ahead. For those of you who missed out, there is the Salkantay Trek, which may be even more beautiful.
