• Warm clothing in layers: Cusco has temperature variations, especially in the afternoon. Bring a light polo shirt, a fleece or sweater, and a windproof or waterproof jacket.
• Sun cap or hat: Important for protection during outdoor archaeological visits.
• UV-protected sunglasses: Especially necessary due to the intensity of the sun's rays at altitude.
• Sunscreen and lip balm: To avoid burns or dryness from sun exposure and the dry climate.
• Comfortable sneakers or hiking shoes: The paths may be cobbled or uneven; Avoid flat or platform shoes.
• Reusable water bottle: Stay hydrated throughout the tour.
• Light snacks (cereal bars, dried fruit, Coca-Cola candies): Useful for maintaining energy, especially if you're taking the tour in the morning.
• Camera or cell phone with a good battery: To capture the best moments of the tour.
• Cash (in soles): To purchase tickets not included in the tour, souvenirs, or snacks. It is recommended to carry small bills.
• ID or passport: Required for entry to some archaeological sites.
• Toilet paper or tissues: Useful for public restrooms along the route.
• Antibacterial gel or alcohol spray: For proper hand hygiene during the tour.

• Acclimatize before the tour

  If you have just arrived in Cusco, it is recommended to take at least half a day of rest before the City Tour. This will help you adapt to the altitude (3,399 msnm) and avoid altitude sickness or "soroche."

• Hydrate constantly

  The dry climate and altitude can cause dehydration. Always carry a water bottle with you and take small sips throughout the tour.

• Avoid heavy meals before the tour

  Especially if you are working the morning shift. Opt for a light breakfast to avoid discomfort during the journey.

• Dress in layers and wear comfortable clothing

  The weather in Cusco can change throughout the day. Dress in layers to adjust to the temperature, and be sure to wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven surfaces.

• Bring cash in local currency (soles)

  Some tourist attractions do not accept credit cards, and it is important to have cash on hand for entrance fees, tips, or personal purchases.

• Consult your guide if you have any questions.

  Our certified guide will be available to answer any historical, logistical, or medical questions. Don't hesitate to ask for assistance if you feel tired or affected by the altitude.

• Protect your skin and eyes from the sun

  Even if the day is cloudy, UV rays at altitude are more intense. Wear sunscreen, UV-protective sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat or cap.

• Respect the rules of archaeological sites

  Avoid climbing unauthorized structures, touching sacred walls, or extracting natural elements. Preserving cultural heritage is everyone's responsibility.

• Please have your personal documents ready

  You may be asked for your passport or ID at some checkpoints, especially when purchasing tickets.

• Please arrive on time for pickup

  We recommend being ready at least 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time, as delays can affect the flow of the tour for the entire group.
