How can I prepare for the hike and prevent altitude sickness?

The best way to prepare yourself for this trekking experience is simple: spend at least 2 to 3 days at a high-altitude place like Cusco, so your body gets used to the high altitude. If you have already been to a high-altitude destination before arriving in Cusco, we still recommend you spend at least one full day in Cusco to rest, recuperate from your trip, and enjoy the beautiful views of the city before your trek.

💪 Taking Care of Your Body

Additionally, taking good care of your body helps deal with the extra pressures that altitude creates.
We recommend you to:

Eat healthy food
Drink lots of water
Stay away from alcohol

Chewing coca leaves or drinking coca tea helps to alleviate any discomfort associated with the altitude.
