The best way to prepare yourself for this trekking experience is easy: 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 and drinking coca tea helps to alleviate any discomfort associated with the altitude.

The entrance ticket to Huayna Picchu Mountain or Machu Picchu Mountain are additional add-ons that you can choose to purchase besides the Machu Picchu visit that is already included in this trek. You can visit one of these mountains after your Machu Picchu visit to see the Inca Citadel from the top.
