Finally booked my trip to Peru for October and now I am starting to pack and need help in what I should pack as there will be sightseeing, trekking, warm weather, cold weather.. and I am a bit lost in what I should bring. I do not want to overpack as I travel with a backpack. Has anyone been and can help me out? Thanks in advance already!!

You will definitely want to pack layers… I did a lot of hiking around Huaraz and the Salkantay Trek, and layers are key! I also had just a 40L backpack, and it’s definitely doable 
If you have a compact down-type of jacket, that would be good? I got one from Uniqlo and it was great. You will also need a rain jacket, of course, which can double as a windbreaker lol. Peru also has tons of alpaca clothing items which are warm, I bought some cheap gloves and a hat in Cusco and it was super handy as well!

Are you an experience hiker? I am not a fan of it but I want to book an Inca Trail trip as well - wondering if you could maybe share the trip you booked so I can have a look? 
appreciate it!
