Cusco Journeys Equipment

Cusco Journeys Equipment plays an essential role in the safety, comfort, and success of our expeditions. At Cusco Journeys, we carefully select and maintain the gear used on our expeditions trips, taking into account the conditions of each route and the needs of our travelers.

Our journeys cross protected natural areas, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and national sanctuaries, often passing through remote landscapes with rugged terrain and limited access.

To provide a comfortable and well-organized experience, we plan every detail in advance. This includes choosing suitable tents for each season, identifying safe camping areas and water sources, and positioning tents to provide better protection from wind and changing weather conditions.

Every piece of equipment has a specific purpose in helping our team deliver safe, reliable, and comfortable trekking experiences.

Premium-Quality Camping Equipment

We take pride in offering some of the best camping equipment in the Cusco region, which is renewed each season based on usage and rigorously maintained to ensure peak performance in the field. Additionally, all our equipment is branded with the Cusco Journeys & Adventure logo, meeting the regulations for authorized operators on iconic routes such as the Inca Trail.

Personal Tents: Comfort & Protection in Every Season

Our selection of high-performance tents includes:

Eureka Timberline Outfitter 4 / SQ Outfitter 4 – 3-season, double occupancy
Eureka Timberline 2XT, SQ 2XT – 3-season, single occupancy
Eureka K2XT – 4-season, available for both single and double occupancy
The North Face VE25 – 4-season, single & double occupancy
Doite Pro Aconcagua, Doite Kaylas, Doite Alpina XR – 4-season, single & double occupancy

Each tent is carefully selected to provide durability, comfort, and protection against varying weather conditions, ensuring a restful night under the stars.

Collective Tents: Dining, Kitchen & Sanitary Facilities

For group comfort, we provide dining tents, kitchen tents, and toilet tents. Our deluxe and premium services also include shower tents for an added touch of luxury.

Small groups are accommodated with Eureka Equinox, Eureka Tunnel Vision, or Doite Pro Aconcagua tents.
Large groups use custom-designed tents, tailored to fit even the narrow terraces of the Inca Trail.

All our tents are 100% waterproof, featuring sealed seams to withstand harsh weather conditions.

Eco-Friendly and High-Performance Gear

Solar-Powered Lamps: A Sustainable Choice

Since 2012, we have replaced traditional gas lamps with solar-powered lighting. Today, more than 80% of our operations use this system, helping reduce fuel consumption and the environmental impact of our expeditions.

Sleeping Gear: Comfort and Warmth

Sleeping Pads: We use high-quality Therm-a-Rest sleeping pads and triple-layer orthopedic foam pads to provide insulation and a comfortable sleeping surface.
Sleeping Bags: Our Eureka sleeping bags are available in different temperature ratings and include thermal liners for additional warmth.

Hygienic and High-Quality Kitchenware

We maintain high hygiene standards by using stainless steel cutlery and dishes instead of plastic tableware. Our luxury treks also include china and glassware for a more refined dining experience.

Our portable kitchens are equipped with ovens, an additional service that allows our cooks to prepare a wider variety of meals during remote camping expeditions.

Clean and Safe Drinking Water

All water used for drinking and cooking is filtered and boiled before use. Although our team regularly checks natural water sources along the routes, we apply these additional purification measures to provide greater protection for our travelers.

Responsible Tourism: Respecting the Environment

At Cusco Journeys & Adventure, we are committed to eco-friendly operations. Our sustainability initiatives include:

Biodegradable toilets with eco-friendly disposal bags
Use of biodegradable soaps and dishwashing liquids
Strict waste management with red and green biodegradable bags for organic and non-organic waste

Cleaning nets and washing bowls to prevent pollution in rivers and natural water sources

Exclusive Luxury Services

For travelers who want additional comfort while exploring remote landscapes, our luxury treks include extra facilities and services:

Hot Showers: Exclusive 30-liter camping showers provide warm water after a day of trekking.
First-Aid Kits and Emergency Oxygen: All treks above 3,000 m (9,840 ft) include first-aid equipment and emergency oxygen bottles. Our preparation follows the standards covered in Advanced First Aid US training.

At Cusco Journeys, we believe that reliable equipment, careful preparation, and responsible field operations are essential to a successful expedition. From the tents and sleeping gear to the kitchen facilities and safety equipment, every detail is planned to help our travelers enjoy a comfortable and well-supported adventure in the Peruvian Andes.
