Altitude & Health Preparation

Parts of this itinerary, such as the Sacred Valley and Cusco, are located at high altitude. We suggest speaking with your doctor before traveling, staying well hydrated, and avoiding heavy meals and alcohol on your first day in the Andes. Your itinerary is designed to allow gentle acclimatization.
