WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE TRAVEL?

Recommendations

  • It is recommended that you spend at least a couple of days in the city of Cusco, so that the height is not a major problem.
    Higher elevation also means cooler, almost freezing temperatures, so be prepared. If you decide to take a multi-day trek make sure to wear very warm clothing.
  • Make sure you stay hydrated. Walking at high altitudes in cold weather you will sweat much less than you are used to. It’s often too late when you realize you’re dehydrated. Mixing dehydration with altitude sickness can be an unpleasant combination. It is recommended to drink at least two to three liters per day at high altitudes like this.
  • Drink enough water, it is important when hiking at high altitude. There are many streams and rivers on the route, but we recommend bringing a bottle of life straw or water purification tablets. Due to the large number of alpacas and llamas throughout the mountains, it is not known how clean the water is. Nothing could be much worse than getting sick at high altitude or having a working stomach.
