Altitude acclimatization is key. We highly recommend arriving in Cusco at least 2 to 3 days before your trek starts to help your body adjust and reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
Even if you’ve already visited other high-altitude areas in Peru, we still suggest taking at least one full day in Cusco to rest and enjoy the city before the hike.
