Peru INCA TRAIL & THE AMAZON RAINFOREST

My friend and I are coming on this trip can not wait!

Hello, i am coming , first trip with exodus, excited but nervous!

Hi there, i'm going on this trip. Really looking forward to it but a little apprehensive.

Anyone else travelling from Northern Ireland? 

Hi All,

I have been on about 22 Exodus trips, and 4 more trips before Peru, so its at the back of my mind at present, I don't seem to find the time to read up on a country before going there.

I am not sure what the guides carry, but a packet of asprin in case of headaches at altitude may be handy.

No need to be nervous or apprehensive, thats an advantage of group trips with local guides.

 

( my previous trips at  www.1sandstone.net ).

Hi all, Beginning to think about this trip now. Basic question wheelie case or rucksack? Are you all flying from London?

Hi Fiona,

I think a rucksack ( or a soft bag ) is the safer bet if you have one, they are easier to stack in the transport,  I suggest a read of page 5 of the trip notes, as luggage on the trek bit is limited, with porters carrying some, and anything else you carry yourself, I guess some luggage can be left somewhere.  It all requires a bit more thought than chucking it all in.

I use a 80 ltr rucksack and a 30 ltr day pack, which is a flexable arrangement, but starting with a half hour walk from home its really the only option.

I shall travel from near Bristol to LHR by coach, to link up with the group flight.

Thanks Dave, good advice. Will be shopping soon for said rucksack! Beginning to get really excited about this trip. I see you have done a few!!!! I am travelling from Stockholm to London, to meet group. Couldnr get a direct flight, but actually quite happy now as want to meet everyone beforehand. Fiona

Hi Fiona,

It can be difficult finding fellow travelers at the airport, just so many people. also even if you spot an Exodus luggage label, they may be on a different trip. generaly you meet the others when leaving the arrival airport.  ( I look for people wearing walking boots ).

Personaly I pefer rucksacks with side pockets, used for waterproofs, then you know where they are, and have quick and easy access to them, ( good for sudden storms ). 

Dave P..

Anyone got ideas or good advice about what clothes we need to bring and necessary accessories?

Maybe you could write up a packing list for us Dave??

Fiona - I'me planning on using a wheeled soft bag and a day rucksack. Also, I'me flying from London too so hopefully we can meet up there before our flight to Madrid.
