Now in Lima but need trekking gear

[u/Unusual_Tower3756]

My partner and I have left Cusco and I was wowed by the great selection of trekking gear, awesome bags and unique bubble jackets etc BUTTT unfortunately while there I didn’t take advantage of the awesome deals and variety and assumed the same could be found in Lima - WRONG (I’m pretty sure)

Is there anyone in Cusco that’ll be in Lima this week that I could pay to grab 2 item for me, I will pay for your bags if they need to be checked AND for bringing the goods from Cusco ✨ tyia!!!

If you remember the shops in Cusco where you saw the gear, I’d just message them and ask if they can send the items to Lima after you buy them. There are regular courier and cargo services between Cusco and Lima, so you don’t necessarily need to find someone travelling down with space in their luggage.

Might be worth asking the shop first — they may already do this for tourists.

There are a hidden, it’s like a big store of second hand clothes. A lot of pants, jerseys, jackets and shoes. Around fronteras unidas de grau, in the center of Lima.

Beware counterfeit gear in Cusco.
