Essential Information
Essential Info About 6-Day Machu Picchu Amazon Adventure
Arriving in Cusco.
Arriving in Cusco for 4-day Cusco Adventure Tour, can be done through the Cusco airport, but please note that it currently only serves domestic flights. If you are coming from an international destination, you will need to disembark in Lima and clear Customs before continuing to Cusco. It’s important to remember that even if you have a connecting flight to Cusco on the same day and with the same airline, you will still need to retrieve your bags in Lima and then check them in again.
For transportation to Cusco, air travel is recommended as the best option. There are several airlines to choose from, with LAN being one of the popular but more expensive choices. It’s worth noting that flight delays or cancellations can occur due to the high altitude weather conditions in Cusco. In such cases, air traffic may be temporarily halted. Alternatively, bus travel is available and can be a good option, especially if you are coming from a city closer to Cusco like Puno. Buses in Peru are well maintained and comfortable, although the journey from Lima can be quite long, taking approximately 20 hours.
Transfers in/out.
When you reach Cusco, our team will be waiting for you at the airport. Look for our representative with a white board displaying the SPT Travel & Tours logo at the arrival terminal. Once you meet them, they will transfer you to your reserved hotel.
For the return transfer, we will pick you up from your hotel 2 hours before the time specified in your airline tickets. The drive from your hotel to the airport typically takes around 20-30 minutes, but may vary due to traffic conditions. Once at the airport, you will need to check your flights and settle the airport taxes.
About the Altitude.
Altitude sickness is a common concern when traveling to Peru, especially Cusco. The air at higher altitudes has less oxygen, which means your body has to work harder to get the oxygen it needs. To help your body adjust, we recommend spending at least two days in Cusco before embarking on any Andes trek. Cusco is a vibrant city with plenty to explore, so you won’t run out of things to do while acclimating.
Altitude sickness can manifest as flu-like symptoms or hangover-like sensations. Headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping or exercising are some common effects. If you experience any severe symptoms, please get in touch with our office, and we will assist you in consulting a doctor.
In most cases, these symptoms will be mild. To ease your adjustment, start your activities slowly and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water or coca tea. Coca tea has been traditionally used to combat altitude sickness. The alkaloids in coca leaves help oxygenate your blood, reducing the effects of altitude sickness. It is advisable to limit your consumption of alcohol and coffee as they can increase urination and dehydration. Smoking should also be avoided as it hampers your body’s oxygen absorption. Lastly, refrain from taking sleeping pills, as they can cause shallow breathing, hindering your body’s ability to absorb oxygen during sleep.
About Weather.
The weather in Cusco is unpredictable. The dry season typically runs from April to October, but rain can still fall in June and the sun can still rise in December. It’s important to be prepared for any weather conditions. Regardless of the month, make sure to have rain gear, including a waterproof jacket, pants, poncho, and waterproof gloves. Many people overlook the need for gloves, but the cold and humidity can make the hike very uncomfortable. Additionally, be prepared for various microclimates during trekking in the Andes. Layering is essential to easily adjust to temperature changes. It’s recommended to bring a warm and packable padded jacket for the cold nights.
Travel insurance.
Taking a step towards protecting your travel investment with travel insurance is not just a smart choice, but an essential one. Travel insurance offers you coverage for unforeseen circumstances that can occur before or during your trip. Whether it’s trip cancellation, interruption, medical emergencies, or baggage loss, having travel insurance can save you from significant financial loss. Moreover, securing travel insurance is a straightforward process that can be done from the comfort of your home. So, make travel insurance a non-negotiable part of your travel checklist, and ensure peace of mind while exploring the corners of the globe.
Travel insurance is a vital tool for any traveler. It not only offers financial protection but also provides peace of mind while journeying to new destinations. With travel insurance, you can rest assured that unforeseen circumstances won’t ruin your trip or leave you with hefty expenses.
