What to Bring
It is recommended that you arrive in Cusco two days prior to your trek so you can adapt to the altitude. We strongly advise against taking this trip upon arrival. Your tour starts early in the morning when the temperatures in the Andes are very low, so we advise bringing warm and light clothes, a hat, gloves, comfortable trousers, and hiking shoes. It’s always best to dress in layers. It is a good idea to carry a rain jacket or a rain poncho with you during the trek. Sunblock is very important. The intensity of the solar radiation is much higher at this altitude.
