Kit list: Alpamayo Circuit (inc. Santa Cruz trek)

Here's what I brought to the Peruvian Andes to backpack the Alpamayo Circuit independently (without guide or donkeys). At the end of the video, I talk about what I would do differently in hindsight. This list should work for most hikes in Peru's mountains. If you are trekking the Huayhuash, it may be colder (as low as -15C at night instead of -5C).
