Peru Treks is committed to looking after our porters and our trekking weights are carefully calculated so that our porters are not overloaded. The group sizes given below show the absolute minimum number of porters that we will provide for each group. As a professional company we will guarantee these numbers. Obviously we will use extra porters if any of our clients decide to hire the services of an extra half porter up until the maximum number of porters per group permitted by the government. This is why we limit each client to a maximum of just a half of a porter i.e. maximum 6kg.
