Recommendations

• Spend at least a day in Cusco or the Sacred Valley to adjust to the high altitude. Drink plenty of water and consider coca tea to help with acclimatization.

• The weather in the Andes can be unpredictable. Bring layers, including a rain jacket, as mornings and evenings can be cool, and daytime can be warm.

• The Andean sun can be strong, even on cloudy days. Protect yourself with sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat to avoid sunburn.

• Many of the ruins, including Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo, involve hiking and uneven terrain. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are essential for these excursions.

• While some places accept credit cards, it's best to carry cash (in Peruvian soles) for markets, tips, and small purchases in more remote areas of the Sacred Valley.

• Altitude can make digestion slower, so stay hydrated and eat light meals to avoid altitude sickness. Avoid alcohol on your first day to prevent dehydration.
