The Lake Titi caca in Peru

Lake Titicaca is located in Southern Peru on the border of Peru and Bolivia. By volume of water, it is also the largest lake in South America it has a larger surface area. The western part of the lake lies within Puno Region of Peru, and the eastern side is located in the Department of “La Paz in Bolivia”. Five major river systems feed into the Lake Titicaca. In order of their relative flow volumes these are Ramis, Coata, Ilave, Huancané, and Suchez.

More than 20 other smaller streams empty into Titicaca, and the lake has 41 islands, some of which are densely populated. Since 2000, Lake Titicaca has experienced constantly receding water levels. Between April and November 2009 alone the water level has sunk by 81 cm and has now reached the lowest level since 1949. This drop is caused by shortened rainy seasons and the melting of glaciers feeding the tributaries of the lake.

Packing List

RECOMMENDED THINGS TO TAKE

First on your packing list for your trip to Peru should be an open mind and a sense of humour!  Don’t come with too many preconceived ideas about what Peru is like, this way your trip will open you up to incredible new horizons and possibilities.

Bring as little as possible. Don’t worry, if you forget something, you can probably buy it in Cusco once you arrive. Tourist shops abound selling a whole range of items from water bottles and first aid kits to hiking gear. You can also rent hiking equipment in Cusco, which can be a good option if you don’t want to travel to Peru with a whole lot of heavy hiking and camping gear.

Packing List:

After asking to our customers who have been traveling around Cusco & Machu Picchu we have come up with our definitive list of what to pack for a trip to lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco and Machu Picchu.

  • A GOOD PAIR OF HIKING BOOTS OR WALKING SHOES.- This is not the place to bring those high heels ladies! Steps and uneven cobble stone surfaces abound and if it rains the stones can get slippery.
  • A PONCHO FOR THOSE DOWNPOURS.- The weather changes very quickly here. An ideal solution is to carry a good quality poncho in your daypack at all times particularly during the rainy season from November / March. (You can buy ponchos in any of the tourist shops in Cusco but the quality isn’t always great.)
  • A WARM JACKET.- Evenings and mornings can be very cold particularly between June – September so a good quality, waterproof and ideally windproof jacket is ideal. Another good option is a warm fleece which you can wear under a light-weight waterproof, windproof jacket.
  • GOOD QUALITY SUNSCREEN AND A SUNHAT.- Due to the altitude and Peru’s location close to the Equator frequent application of sunscreen is advised to avoid any nasty sunburn. Be warned, even when it’s cloudy here you can get very burnt.
  • BRING CLOTHES THAT YOU CAN LAYER.- Cool mornings mean you may want to wrap up as you set off for a day’s exploring, however by 11am you might want to strip down to a t-shirt and shorts.  Warm layers and trousers that can be unzipped into shorts are great. You will only need a couple of changes of clothes as you can get washing done anywhere cheaply.
  • A DAY-PACK TO CARRY ALL YOUR BITS AND PIECES.- ideally with a hip strap to make long days hiking and exploring more comfortable.
  • A WATER BOTTLE.- Plastic disposal is a real problem in the Sacred Valley so we recommend you buy large bottles and refill water into your own re-useable bottle.
  • SMALL FIRST AID KIT FOR BASIC CUTS AND BRUISES AND TUMMY UPSETS.- Pharmacies abound in Cusco and other small towns in the Sacred Valley where you can buy basic first aid and medical supplies. Do make sure however, that you bring enough of any prescription medicine you might need as some brands and types of medicine might not be available in Peru. A good rule of thumb is to bring enough prescription medicine to cover you for the length of your trip plus an extra week in case you get delayed.
  • A spare pair of prescription glasses or contact lenses plus a copy of your prescription is a good idea.
  • A SMALL POCKET SIZE TORCH.
  • Earplugs for when you are stuck in a noisy room or want to sleep on the bus or plane.
  • A DUCKPACK.- or rainproof covering for your daypack or backpack is a must particularly if you are travelling during the rainy season to avoid wet clothes and personal items. This is particularly important if you are going to be doing any multi-day hiking including the Inca Trail.
  • A HAT, SCARF AND GLOVES FOR THOSE COLD MORNINGS AND EVENINGS.- You can buy fabulous Peruvian style hats and gloves at the local markets so don’t worry if you forget to bring these with you.
  • PACK YOUR TOILETRIES IN ZIP LOCK BAGS.- For some reason the altitude can cause shampoo and other bottles to pop leaving a nasty mess in your bag, Pack all toiletries in sealed bags to avoid any unnecessary mess.
  • INSECT REPELLENT.- particularly if you plan on going trekking or visiting Machu Picchu.
  • CAMERA.- with lots of memory and battery for all those great shots you are definitely going to want to take.
  • Take enough padlocks for every double zipper to stop wandering hands and lock up your important belongings, even in your hotel room.

Essential Info.

ESSENTIAL TOUR INFO ABOUT 10-DAY SOUTH OF PERU:

Arriving in Cusco.

When arriving in Cusco for the 10-day South of Peru Package, you have a couple of options. If you are flying in, please note that the Cusco airport currently only serves domestic flights. If you’re coming from an international destination, you’ll need to disembark in Lima and clear Customs before continuing to Cusco. Even if you have a connecting flight to Cusco on the same day and with the same airline, you’ll still need to retrieve your bags in Lima and then check them in again.

Air travel is generally recommended as the best transportation option to Cusco. LAN is one of the popular airlines, but it may be more expensive. Keep in mind that flight delays or cancellations can occur due to the high-altitude weather conditions in Cusco, causing temporary air traffic halts. Alternatively, bus travel is available and can be a good option, especially if you’re 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.

About Transfers: in/out.

Upon your arrival in Cusco, our dedicated team will be eagerly awaiting you at the airport. Just keep an eye out for our representative holding a white board adorned with the SPT Travel & Tours logo at the arrival terminal. Once you connect with them, they will take care of your transfer, ensuring a seamless journey to your prearranged hotel.

For your return transfer, we will arrange for a timely pick-up from your hotel, ensuring you have ample time before your flight. Typically, the drive from your hotel to the airport takes around 20-30 minutes, but do keep in mind that traffic conditions may affect this duration. Upon arrival at the airport, kindly proceed to check your flights and settle the necessary airport taxes.

Rest assured, with our comprehensive transfer services, your journey to and from the airport will be hassle-free and convenient.

The Altitude sickness?.

Altitude sickness is a common concern when traveling to Peru, especially in Cusco. At higher altitudes, the air has less oxygen, causing your body to work harder. To help your body adjust, spend at least two days in Cusco before starting any Andes trek. Embrace the vibrant city and explore while acclimating.

Altitude sickness can manifest as flu-like symptoms or hangover-like sensations. Common effects include headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping or exercising. If you experience severe symptoms, please contact our office, and we will assist you in consulting a doctor.

In most cases, the symptoms are mild. Take it easy at first and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water or coca tea. Coca tea has traditionally been used to combat altitude sickness. Its alkaloids help oxygenate your blood, reducing the impact of altitude sickness. Limit alcohol and coffee consumption, as they increase urination and dehydration. Avoid smoking, as it hampers oxygen absorption. Lastly, refrain from using sleeping pills, as they can affect your breathing during sleep.

About Weather.

The weather in Peru can be unpredictable, with the dry season generally running from April to October. However, even during this period, rain can still occur in June, and the sun can still shine in December. It is important to be prepared for all weather conditions. Regardless of the month, it is necessary to have rain gear, including a waterproof jacket, pants, poncho, and waterproof gloves. People often overlook the need for gloves, but the cold and humidity can make the hike very uncomfortable. Additionally, be prepared for various microclimates while trekking in the Andes. Layering is essential for easily adjusting to temperature changes. It is recommended to bring a warm and packable padded jacket for the cold nights.

Guaranteed Departures.

All departure dates for our 10-day South of Peru Package are 100% guaranteed. Once you’ve booked and paid your deposit, you’re all set. No need to worry about cancellations due to insufficient group sizes or any last-minute changes. With our guaranteed departures, you can confidently plan your travel adventures, knowing that your trip is secure.

We secure tourist standard hotels in Cusco and Ollantaytambo, where you’ll be staying before and after your trek. Typically, the rooms are shared with another member of your group, but it depends on your group size and room availability.

If requested, we can arrange triple share accommodation, and single supplement rooms are available for an additional charge. During the trek, we provide comfortable camping tents for your stay. While shower facilities may be limited, we can arrange hot water using buckets at each campsite. Throughout the entire trek, you’ll enjoy a full board meal plan, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and tea/coffee.

Travel insurance.

When it comes to travel, protecting your investment is crucial. That’s where travel insurance comes in. It offers coverage for unforeseen situations that may occur before or during your trip. From trip cancellation and interruption to medical emergencies and baggage loss, travel insurance can save you from facing significant financial losses. The best part is, getting travel insurance is quick and easy and can be done from the comfort of your own home. So, make sure to add travel insurance to your checklist and explore the world with peace of mind.

Are you Solo traveller?

At 10-Day South of Peru Package, we hold a firm belief that solo travellers should not be subjected to additional charges for wanting to explore the world on their own.

However, it’s important to note that our Independent trips operate slightly differently. For these itineraries, solo travellers are required to pay the single trip price. We strive to cater to the needs of every adventurer and ensure that everyone has an opportunity to experience the wonders that Peru has to offer.
