\u2018It\u2019s 8kg, the limit is 6kg. You\u2019ll have to find another place to put the extra 2kg\u2019, said the lead porter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Words I did not want to hear at Km82, aka the starting point of the Inca Trail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019d arrived minutes earlier, just after 9am, with the rest of the group – all 13 trekkers. Sleeping bags, air mattresses and trekking poles were being handed out (to those who had rented from the company), and we all proceeded to pack our duffel bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had been given a strict warning about our luggage – we each had a duffel bag, which would be carried by a porter on the trek, and could weigh max 6kg. ( Due to regulations, porters are only allowed to carry max 25k. The packages are weighed at the start of the trek. In years gone by, they would carry upwards of 40-50kilos! I do not know how). We had been told at orientation, the afternoon before, that the sleeping bag and air mattress weighed 3.5kg, so we had 2.5kg to play with. I clearly hadn\u2019t been paying attention, or my Nigerian packing skills had come into play (you know, adding that one more little thing that I almost definitely\u2026probably\u2026possibly\u2026might.. need on the trek), and I found myself with more kilos than I knew what to do with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stared at my selection of snacks – oreos, plantain chips, biscuits, my jumper, my jacket, my sandals, my sleeping bag liner\u2026which of these was expendable? They all seemed pretty indispensable so I began to stuff them into my day bag. (Elias, our second guide, was kind enough to put a couple of items in his bag) However I ended up with a day bag that weighed 4 or 5kg. (Every other sensible trekker\u2019s weighed 2kg or less). Not. A. Good. Start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We lined up to go through the checkpoint at the visitors centre-you had to show your passport, walked a few metres past the hall, through a wire fence and gate, and then the views opened up in front of us. It was a perfectly beautiful day, sunny with blue skies and the clouds in sight were brilliant white and only served to make the views more picture perfect. We stopped to take a picture at the famous trail sign, and began the trek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
