Our best tips 

We have some tips that will make your stay much better. First, the use of sunscreen is very important because of the altitude and weather that leads to high levels of radiation in the highlands. Second, we recommend the use of  insect repellent because of the different spaces full of green areas and mountains.

If you want to know one more thing about your day in Machu Picchu, one of the wonders of the world, we recommend trekking sneakers because it is very important to use comfortable footwear while you walk around the city.

The city of Cusco is located 3,400 m.s.n.m, which will cause tiredness and discomfort on the first day. For this reason, our local expert recommends drinking a lot of water and the best kept secret of the incas: the ancestral tea of coca. Also, we advise a light diet, for the first days, until your body adapts to the altitude. Remember that we are together in all your cultural experience, to keep helping you in all the things you need. Also, we have some personalized kits with basic implements that will be given at the beginning of every adventure.

Finally, if you want to buy typical souvenirs in the local markets, you need to have cash, that’s why we make sure you know that not all the small stores accept credit cards.
