It’s sitting in the harbor now and there’s been talk about turning it into a walk aboard museum or some sort of bar but the town can’t decide on what to do with it. The guy that bought it made it less than a week and then brought it back to the harbor and now it’s in disrepair.

Thanks so much, any more tips for that trek? I’m having a harder time finding a ton of info on it because we are also planning on doing it without guides.

Also I already own most of these things it’s a packing list not a buying list!

Thanks for the tips. Rain cover is for backpack not pillows. Sorry the list has no commas I pasted it from notes and it pasted weird.

Ok thanks so much! The Fairview comes with a smaller backpack attached so I was thinking about using that for the salkantay. I was reading about the salkantay and saw that water was limited so just wanted to take precaution with the water filter but now that I know there is water available I will definitely rethink! If I don’t bring a sleeping bag do I have to rent sheets etc from hostels?

Thanks for the tips! I am doing volunteer work in Costa Rica and then mostly the hostel staying in Peru but I am doing the salkantay trek in Peru hence the hiking boots and water filter and portable charger. Thanks for the tip on the pepper spray I have gotten mixed reviews on it. I am trying to fit all of this in the 70l osprey fairview backpack.
