Essential info for 4-Day Classic Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu.

Arriving in Cusco:

When arriving in Cusco, keep in mind that the airport is exclusively dedicated to domestic flights. This means that international travelers who arrive by air will need to go through customs in Lima. Even if your flight to Cusco is operated by the same airline on the same day, you will still need to retrieve your luggage in Lima and check it back in.

The most preferred mode of transportation to Cusco is by plane, with several airline options available. While LAN Airlines tends to be more expensive, they offer a wider range of flights. It’s worth noting that disruptions and cancellations can occur due to the high altitude in Cusco, which may prevent planes from landing in certain weather conditions. Alternatively, taking a bus is an option, although the journey from Lima can take up to 20 hours. It’s best to avoid this if possible and consider traveling from nearby cities such as Puno or Arequipa for a more practical option.

About your Luggage:

Please feel free to leave any additional items at your lodge in Cusco or entrust them with us before the trek. Rest assured that your bags will be securely stored throughout the duration of the trek and promptly returned to you upon your arrival. To ensure efficient handling, please make sure to tag each bag for easy identification.

About the Altitude:

Altitude, particularly in Cusco, Peru, can pose a challenge for travelers due to the risk of altitude sickness. At higher altitudes, the air contains less oxygen, making it harder for the body to obtain sufficient levels. To adapt to the environment, we highly recommend spending at least two days in Cusco before embarking on any trek in the Andes. Symptoms of altitude sickness may include headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite, vomiting, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping or breathing during exercise. These symptoms can resemble those of a hangover or flu. If experiencing severe symptoms, please contact our office immediately for assistance in obtaining medical help.

It’s crucial to avoid excessive consumption of coffee or alcohol, as they can contribute to dehydration, and smoking can hinder effective oxygen absorption. Furthermore, taking sleeping pills is not recommended, as they can result in shallow breathing during sleep, thereby compromising oxygen absorption.

If deemed necessary by your doctor, medications such as acetazolamide and dexamethasone may be prescribed to mitigate altitude sickness risks before embarking on your upward expedition.

Weather:

The weather is often so inconstant in Cusco – although April to October is generally dry, precipitation and sunshine can still happen outside the norm. Protect yourself with the necessary rain gear, like a waterproof jacket, pants, poncho, and don’t forget those gloves: you’ll be relieved you brought them along if it’s cold or humid! And remember, there will be certain moments when you experience four seasons throughout your trek – so be sure to have various layers of clothing that you can modify depending on changes in temperature. Make sure you have a cozy yet portable padded jacket as well: it will definitely come in handy when the night falls!

Porter staff included:

Our camping excursions include dedicated porters who are responsible for setting up and transporting all of your gear, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience. These experienced individuals will also be responsible for carrying the duffel bag that you received during the pre-trek briefing for your 4-Day Classic Salkantay Trek. It is important to note that each individual travel bag must not exceed 7 kg / 14 lbs and should contain both your sleeping bag and air mattress to ensure your comfort throughout the journey. Rest assured that our skilled porters are committed to providing exceptional service and making your trek as enjoyable as possible.

Duffel bag for 4-Day Classic Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu.

On the night preceding the hike, you will receive a duffle bag of limited size so you can load your clothes for the hike. The maximum weight allowable is 7 kg/15.4 lbs. The horsemen will responsibly transport your duffle bag from site to site whereas different horses will bring sustenance and camping equipment. It is essential to note that one won’t have ability to access their items in the small duffle bag until the termination of daily route since the horseman and horses are generally ahead of the group.

The duffle bag that you’ll receive one day before the 4-day Classic Salkantay Trek; here you’ll pack most of your personal belongings. This duffle bag will be transported by our horses from camp to camp.

Travel insurance:

Travel insurance is more than just a precaution—it’s a wise investment in your peace of mind. Whether you’re embarking on a weekend getaway, a business trip, or the vacation of a lifetime, unexpected events can occur. Delays, cancellations, medical emergencies, or even lost luggage can disrupt your plans. But with the protection of travel insurance, you can navigate these obstacles with confidence. This is why we strongly recommend securing travel insurance prior to departure. It’s an easy process and a small price to pay for the assurance that your investment in travel is protected. Don’t leave your peace of mind at home—bring it along with your travel insurance.
