Combination or Garment | Why It’s Ideal for Inti Raymi & Cusco |
Alpaca Wool Hoodie | Lightweight, warm, and moisture-wicking for fluctuating temperatures. |
Alpaca Wool T-shirt or Base Layer | Ideal for comfort during long hours outdoors. |
Alpaca Wool Beanie + Neck Gaiters | For added warmth when the sun goes down. |
Base Layer Alpaca Wool +Hoodies | Versatile combo for cool mornings, sunny mid-day, and cold afternoons |
Alpaca Wool T-shirt+Hoodie Jacket | Ideal for layering—light enough for walking, warm enough for shadowed seating |
Alpaca Wool Sweatpants or Joggers | Comfortable for sitting on stone or grass; breathable during day movement, as in Cusco the wind can be intense at the same time as the sunlight. |
Alpaca Wool Glove Liners | Compact, breathable warmth—perfect for layering when the temperature drops or the wind picks up. If you're hiking or climbing, wear it under additional protection. |
