Cusco is located at 3,399 meters (11,152 feet) above sea level. This altitude can cause altitude sickness for some visitors, so it’s recommended to acclimatize during the first few days, avoid heavy meals, and stay hydrated.

Cusco tours typically include transportation, entry tickets to tourist sites, tour guides, and sometimes lunch. Depending on the tour, you might visit the city, the Sacred Valley, or even combine it with Machu Picchu.

Upon arriving in Cusco, due to its altitude (3,399 meters above sea level), it’s common to experience altitude sickness, also known as soroche, which can cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath. To acclimate and minimize discomfort, we recommend:

  • Rest on your first day: Avoid intense physical activities.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water or herbal teas, like coca tea, which helps relieve symptoms.
  • Avoid heavy meals: Opt for light meals to avoid overburdening your system.
  • Oxygen and medication: If symptoms are severe, use portable oxygen or consult a doctor for medications like acetazolamide.
    In most cases, your body will adjust within 1 or 2 days. Listen to your body and take it easy at first.
