On the Inca Trail, gear isn’t just a detail — it can make or break your trek. At 69Explorer, we provide reliable, high-quality equipment to keep you comfortable, safe, and ready for the mountains.
Every item is chosen for high-altitude conditions: from sturdy four-season tents to insulated sleeping mats and fully equipped dining setups. This isn’t luxury for show — it’s gear that helps you rest well and recover fast after long hiking days.
We inspect everything before each trek. Tents, sleeping gear, and common areas are clean, sturdy, and ready to go, so you can focus on the adventure, not the logistics.
Sleeping & Camping Equipment
Rest is crucial after a tough day on the trail. Our tents and sleeping gear are built to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable.
Tents
We use four-season EUREKA tents, built for mountain weather. Four-person tents are shared by only two travelers — extra room for gear, extra comfort for you. Strong, weather-resistant, and ready for whatever the Andes throw at you.
Sleeping Mats
Every trekker gets a foam sleeping mat. For those wanting extra padding and insulation, Therm-a-Rest inflatable mats are available for rent. Sleep well, wake ready to tackle the next climb.
Additional Rental Equipment
Need extra support on the trail? We’ve got you covered:
- Coleman Sleeping Bags (–15 °C): Perfect for cold nights.
- Therm-a-Rest Inflatable Mats: More comfort, better insulation.
- Trekking Poles: Keep your balance, save your knees, and make climbs easier.
Reserve in advance to guarantee availability — you’ll thank yourself at 4,200 meters.

Hygiene matters in the mountains. Each campsite includes private toilet tents with secure seating, cleaned and maintained daily.
Waste is handled responsibly, keeping the trail clean and giving you one less thing to worry about after a long day of hiking.
Porters & Crew Equipment
Our porters and crew are the backbone of the trek. They carry gear, set up camp, and keep everything running smoothly — and they’re fully equipped to handle high-altitude conditions.
Jackets, hats, boots, backpacks, sleeping mats — everything they need to work safely. A well-prepared crew means a smooth, seamless experience for every traveler.
Emergency & Animal Support
We’ve got your back, no matter what happens.
Emergency Horse
