A small suitcase for your main belongings and a light backpack for daily excursions are ideal for this tour.

Recommended Items:

  Recommendable bag pack

• Tennis Shoes or Trainers: Comfortable footwear is essential for walking and exploring.
• Long, Comfortable Pants and a Wind Jacket: Suitable for varying weather conditions.

10 kilos suitcases:

When it comes to traveling, one of the most important things to consider is your luggage. The amount and type of baggage you bring can greatly affect your travel experience. Whether you’re going on a short weekend trip or a long-term vacation, having the right suitcase is crucial. One common measurement for suitcases is weight, with many airlines having strict restrictions on how much baggage you can bring without incurring additional fees.

This has led to the popularity of the “10 kilos suitcase”, referring to a suitcase that weighs 10 kilograms or fewer when fully packed. But what exactly can fit into a 10 kilos suitcase? It may seem like a small amount, but with smart packing strategies and careful selection of items, you can actually fit quite a lot.

Essentials such as a week’s worth of clothing, a pair of shoes, toiletries, and even a compact travel guide can all be accommodated within this weight limit. By rolling clothes to maximize space, opting for travel-sized toiletries, and wearing your bulkiest items during transit, you can make the most of your 10 kilos suitcase and travel light without skimping on what you need.

Essential Details for Your 6-Day Machu Picchu Amazon Adventure

Arrival in Cusco

Welcome to your exciting adventure in Cusco, the gateway to unforgettable trekking expeditions! Getting to Cusco for your 4-day Cusco Adventure Tour is straightforward. You’ll fly into Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, which serves only domestic flights. If you’re traveling from abroad, you’ll first land in Lima, clear customs, collect your baggage, and then check in again for your flight to Cusco. We recommend planning some buffer time for this transfer, so your journey is smooth and stress-free.

Flying is the most convenient route to Cusco, and with several airlines operating, you have choices ranging from LATAM Airlines—known for its reliability, though a bit pricier—to other options. Due to Cusco’s high-altitude weather, keep in mind flight disruptions are possible. Alternatively, if you’re up for an adventure from nearby cities like Puno, Peru’s buses are a comfortable and scenic option, albeit the journey from Lima takes approximately 20 hours.

Transfers In and Out

Once you touch down in Cusco, our friendly team will be there to greet you. Look for an SPT Travel & Tours representative holding a white board with our logo right at the terminal. They’ll whisk you away to your accommodation, kicking off your journey in the best way possible.

For your return, we’ve got it all handled.

Understanding Cusco Weather

As you prepare for your 4-Day Cusco Adventure Tour, understanding Cusco’s unique climate helps you pack right and plan well. Sitting at a high altitude, Cusco’s climate is diverse, featuring two distinct seasons: May to October’s dry season and the wet season from November to April.

During the dry season, enjoy warm, sunny days perfect for outdoor excursions, with temperatures between 65°F to 70°F (18°C to 21°C). Be ready for chilly mornings and nights dipping to 35°F to 40°F (2°C to 4°C) by packing layers and warm attire.

In the wet season, anticipate mild temperatures from 60°F to 65°F (15°C to 18°C), offset by increased humidity and frequent afternoon showers. Waterproof gear and sturdy footwear are must-haves to tackle wetter trails. Cusco’s weather can be capricious, so checking forecasts and preparing accordingly will equip you to fully enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and historical marvels, no matter the weather.

Tour Difficulty

The 4-Day Cusco Adventure Tour caters to a wide range of fitness levels, though the high elevation and varied trail conditions may pose challenges. Expect daily walks coupled with hikes on uneven, sometimes steep paths. A moderate fitness level is ideal for maximizing your enjoyment and participation.

Unaccustomed to high altitudes? That’s okay—Cusco’s elevation is about 11,152 feet (3,399 meters) above sea level. Some travelers may experience altitude sickness symptoms like headaches or shortness of breath, which generally ease with acclimatization. Arriving a few days prior to the tour can enhance adaptation. Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and enjoy light meals to aid the process.

While challenging at times, the tour promises immense rewards. Marvel at stunning vistas, indulge in cultural riches, and relish the sense of achievement as you traverse the Andes. Our guides are dedicated to making your journey safe and supportive, ensuring this adventure is both fulfilling and memorable.

Dealing with Altitude

Altitude sickness is an important factor to consider when adventuring through Peru. The diminished oxygen levels at higher elevations mean your body needs some time to adjust. We recommend spending a couple of days in Cusco before embarking on any major treks. This dynamic city offers plenty to keep you enthralled while your body acclimates.

Common symptoms mimicking flu or hangover effects—headaches, fatigue, nausea, or dizziness—may occur. Should you face severe symptoms, contact us for assistance with medical care. Generally, symptoms remain mild. Gentle activity, ample hydration, and traditional coca tea, known for countering altitude sickness, help ease acclimatization. Limit alcohol and coffee, avoid smoking, and refrain from sleeping pills to optimize oxygen absorption.

Importance of Travel Insurance

Ensuring you have travel insurance is a critical step in safeguarding your journey. Travel insurance acts as a safety net, covering unforeseen circumstances like trip cancellations, interruptions, medical needs, or baggage loss. It can save you from significant financial burdens with a simple, home-based purchase. Make securing travel insurance a priority on your travel checklist for peace of mind through your global adventures.

With travel insurance, trust that unexpected situations won’t derail your journey or load you with extra expenses. Embrace the freedom it offers to explore with confidence.
