ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

During your visit, the patient may experience discomfort such as dizziness, tiredness, or nausea due to altitude sickness or soroche. Avoid high-fat foods and alcohol before traveling. To alleviate symptoms, you should adapt within a day to the high altitude of Cusco. Coca leaf infusions are a natural plant that the Incas used to cultivate to prevent altitude sickness.

It is best to visit Cusco during the dry season, from April to December. This absence means that the roads are not flooded, and the landscapes are more pleasant to explore and photograph. In comparison, January, February, and March are the rainiest months.

We recommend buying the tours weeks or months in advance because there are a limited number of train tickets and Machu Picchu spaces. Do not wait until the last minute to book your tour; otherwise, you will not be able to find spaces.

For all tours that include hotels, we offer 3* and 4* category hotels with spacious and comfortable rooms, bathrooms, hot showers, and buffet breakfast. If tourists like it, they can change the accommodation to a better service. You have to request it via email for an additional cost.
