Altitude sickness

As soon as the people reserve the trip to Peru, specifically to Cusco, they begin to wonder about altitude sickness. High altitudes contains less oxygen than at sea level and forces your body to work harder to get the oxygen it needs.

In our rainbow mountain tour in the afternoon we will always have oxygen tank and first aid kit, our guides all well trained to assist you in case you have any altitude sympthom.

For farther information about altitude sickness please read our article HERE.

Weather

The weather in the Sacred Valley is unpredictable. Dry season in Cusco is from April through October, but this does not prevent the rain from falling in June or the sun coming out in December, just be prepared for any weather.

Make sure you have adequate clothing that includes a waterproof jacket, pants, poncho and waterproof gloves.

Arriving to Cusco

The best way to get to Cusco is by air and there are several airline options. LATAM tends to be the most expensive, but it has more flight options.

Expect flight delays or cancellations, due to the high altitude of Cusco, tends to be difficult to land so that on rainy days you can paralyze air traffic.

Travel insurance

To protect your travel investment, we recommend buying travel insurance. Getting travel insurance before leaving home is highly recommended and very easy.

There are many insurance companies depending on your country of origin and at different prices according to your time of stay, take some time to review them and hire the one that best suits you. However, this is an excellent way to protect yourself while visiting Peru.
