Health and Recommendations:
The main problem hikers may encounter is the altitude.
We recommend drinking coca leaf infusions (mate de coca) upon arrival in Cusco.
Drink plenty of water during the hike. Eat lightly, without excessive fat or heavy meals that hinder digestion.
During the hike, go slowly on the first day and avoid unnecessary exertion. If you smoke, try to reduce your intake as much as possible.
Don’t hesitate to stop and rest if you feel short of breath.
Let your guide know if you feel unwell; they are trained and can help you or take the necessary measures.
Although the water is drinkable throughout most of Peru, its chemical and bacteriological composition varies depending on the area.
To avoid problems, we recommend drinking bottled water.
