ADDITIONAL TRAVEL TIPS FOR A SAFE & SMOOTH JOURNEY

To ensure the highest level of comfort and safety during your trip:

1. Arrive in Cusco Early

We strongly recommend arriving at least 48 hours before your trek to properly acclimate to the altitude.

2. Hydrate Consistently

Drink small amounts of water throughout the day. Avoid heavy alcohol consumption before the trek.

3. Protect Yourself From the Sun

UV exposure in the Andes is intense. Bring:

• High-SPF sunscreen

• Sunglasses with UV protection

• Sunhat or cap

4. Pack Smart & Light

Peru’s mountain weather can change quickly. Layering is key.

5. Keep Travel Documents Accessible

Always carry your passport and TAM when boarding trains, checking into hotels, or entering Machu Picchu.

6. Purchase Travel Insurance

Comprehensive insurance is highly recommended, covering trip delays, medical expenses, cancellations, and lost luggage.
