Cusco is perched at an impressive 3,400 meters (11,200 feet) above sea level, serving as the gateway to your extraordinary Machu Picchu Exploration.
Today is your acclimatization day, an essential step to prepare for your adventure ahead. Since Cusco’s altitude is significantly higher than many visitors are accustomed to, it’s crucial to take it easy. We recommend resting at your hotel and staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This will help your body adjust to the altitude and reduce the risk of altitude sickness. If you feel up to it, you can take a light stroll around the city to enjoy its charm, but ensure you don’t overexert yourself. Your comfort and well-being are our priority!
