Recomendations
- We recommend arriving in Cusco the day before the tour to adjust to the altitude and, most importantly, to be ready for the scheduled pickup time.
- Clothing should be appropriate for the season and planned activities. The sunny or Andean summer months (mid-April to October) can bring intense sun during the day with temperatures reaching up to 68°F (20°C), but nights can drop sharply to around 41°F (5°C). We suggest bringing lightweight or long-sleeved clothing for the day and warm layers for the evening.
- During the rainy season (November to April), it’s advisable to bring waterproof clothing and shoes that can withstand water and cold.
- If you plan to engage in other outdoor activities around Cusco—such as camping, hiking, biking, or motorcycling—be sure to wear appropriate clothing and gear.
- The program shown here is a one-day tour, but if you’d like to extend your stay, please ask about our Cusco packages that include hotel and tours ranging from 4 to 6 days.
- We are not responsible for services affected by strikes, protests, or natural disasters.
- Let me know if you’d like this adapted for a travel guide or booking page—I can help make it even more inviting!
