M&R Travel Recommendations – Machupicchu Expeditions
If you’re planning a trip to Cusco, it’s important to be prepared to make the most of every experience, whether you’re taking day tours or multi-week expeditions. Here are some key recommendations:
- Acclimatization: Cusco sits at over 3,300 m.a.s.l. (10,800 ft). To avoid altitude sickness, we recommend resting on your first day, staying hydrated, and drinking coca or muña tea.
- Proper Clothing: Cusco’s weather varies by season. Bring layered clothing, a rainproof jacket for unexpected showers, and comfortable walking shoes.
- Required Documents: To enter Machu Picchu, you must carry your passport or ID. If you’re a student, a valid student ID may grant you ticket discounts.
- Tickets & Reservations: Machu Picchu and other attractions require advance tickets. Book early, especially during peak season (May to September).
- Sun Protection: Use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. UV radiation in Cusco and the Peruvian highlands is intense.
- Cash & Payments: While many places accept cards, it’s best to carry cash in soles (PEN) for small expenses, especially in markets or rural communities.
- Respect for Culture & Environment: Cusco and its surroundings hold immense historical and natural value. Follow site regulations, avoid littering, and respect local traditions.
