Hi Rita, yeah, these socks should do the job just fine.

We're going with our family of 4 so trying to be cost-effective but still good quality. Costco offers Columbia hiking socks that are half cushion and comfort top welt. They are merino wool. Do you think these would work well – I'm a bit worried because I know how important the socks are!

Useful explanation with items too which help in the packing decision making.

Hi Marissa, it’s typically a comfort rating and can withstand lower temperatures. But I would always check with the manufacturer. For the Inca Trail you are very unlikely to encounter temperatures below -10 C.

Really great and informative article by the way.

Hi Kathy, I haven’t seen anyone use a double sleeping bag on the Inca Trail, but I’m sure it is possible.
