Pace yourself early
Start slow and maintain an even rhythm—this trek is about altitude endurance more than steep technical climbing.
Hydrate with altitude in mind
Carry at least 2–3 liters and sip frequently; dehydration compounds altitude effects.
Sun can be brutal
Use high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat—UV at 4,000+m is intense even on cool days.
Bring cash for local snacks
Small villages near trailheads may sell coca leaves or snacks—having local currency helps with last-minute needs.
Sturdy hiking boots
Support and traction for rocky switchbacks and occasional scree.
Layered insulating jacket
Temperatures swing quickly at altitude—pack a windproof insulated layer.
Hydration system (bladder or bottles)
Sipping regularly reduces altitude symptoms; aim for 2–3 L minimum.
High-SPF sunscreen and sunglasses
Protects from intense UV on exposed ridgelines and snow-reflective surfaces.
