Tips for Making the Most of Your
To ensure you enjoy your adventure to the fullest, here are some helpful tips:
Best Time to Visit Lima, Cusco, and Machu Picchu
The ideal time to visit Peru is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During these months, you’ll experience pleasant weather and clear skies, perfect for exploring Machu Picchu and the archaeological capital of Peru—Cusco.
What to Pack for Each Destination: Essential Clothing and Accessories
When packing for your trip, be sure to include light clothing for Lima and extra layers for Cusco and Machu Picchu, as temperatures can vary significantly. Here’s a must-have packing list for your adventure in Peru:
- Layered clothing: During the day, temperatures can vary greatly in Cusco, especially if you plan to explore high-altitude sites.
- Sunscreen and hat: At higher altitudes, sun exposure is more intense, so protect your skin.
- Comfortable footwear: Walking, both in archaeological areas and cities, will be much more enjoyable with sturdy, comfortable shoes.
- Rain jacket or windbreaker: You may encounter brief showers any time of year, especially in the Inca capital—Cusco.
- Essential medications: Along with personal items, bring altitude sickness medicine, insect repellent, and pain relievers.
Being well-prepared will let you enjoy each place without worrying about changing conditions.
Precautions for Adapting to the Altitude in Cusco and Machu Picchu
Altitude sickness, or “soroche” as it’s known in Peru, can be challenging in high-altitude destinations like Cusco and Machu Picchu. Here are some tips to help the altitude change go smoothly:
- Gradual acclimation: Ideally, spend at least one day in Cusco to adjust before doing any strenuous activities.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps reduce altitude symptoms.
- Coca infusions: Coca leaf is a traditional plant used in the region to ease altitude discomfort. Coca teas and candies can be very helpful.
- Avoid heavy meals and alcohol: These can worsen symptoms, especially in your first days at high altitude.
Following these tips will make for a more comfortable and enjoyable experience without interruptions in your itinerary.
