Additional Information

During the journey, we will pass through high-altitude areas such as La Raya Pass (4,335 m / 14,222 ft), where the weather can be cold. It is recommended to bring warm clothing and sunscreen.
It is recommended to bring cash in Peruvian soles for personal purchases, snacks, souvenirs, or tips, as not all places accept credit cards.
At each stop, there will be a set amount of time to explore and take photos. It is important to follow the guide’s instructions to make the most of the tour and avoid delays.
If you are not accustomed to the altitude, it is recommended to acclimate in Cusco at least one day before the tour and to bring coca leaves or coca candies to help alleviate possible symptoms of altitude sickness.
