Essential Tips to Prepare for Your 5-Day Machu Picchu Adventure

Embarking on your journey to Cusco and Machu Picchu requires the right gear—and the right mindset. Embrace this trip with curiosity and flexibility to enjoy breathtaking views and rich cultural experiences. Travel light, and if you forget something, Cusco offers plenty of shops with quality trekking gear and essentials. With expert-backed guidance, here’s your essential packing checklist for the Peruvian Andes:

👟 Clothing & Footwear

• Sturdy hiking boots or walking shoes: Cobblestone paths and steep stairs make good footwear essential. Leave high heels behind—embrace the adventure!
• Rain poncho for sudden showers: Especially important during the rainy season (November–March). Lightweight ponchos are widely available in Cusco, but quality varies.
• Warm and waterproof jacket: Mornings and evenings can be chilly—particularly from June to September. Dress in layers: a fleece + waterproof shell works best.
• Layerable clothing: Start the day in layers and shed them as the sun rises. Convertible pants and lightweight layers are ideal. Laundry services are affordable and available locally.
• Sun protection: Bring a high-SPF sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat—altitude and proximity to the equator mean intense UV exposure, even on cloudy days.

🎒 Day Pack Essentials

• Reliable daypack (30L): A comfortable backpack with a hip strap is a must for day hikes and tours.
• Reusable water bottle: Stay eco-friendly and hydrated. Many hostels and hotels provide refill stations.
• Compact first aid kit: Pharmacies are easy to find, but bring prescription meds and basics for blisters or minor scrapes.
• Spare glasses or contact lenses: Bring an extra pair—and don’t forget your prescription.
• Headlamp or flashlight: Handy for poorly lit areas or early departures.
• Earplugs: Useful for buses, trains, or a good night’s sleep in shared accommodations.
• Rain cover for backpack: Essential during rainy season to keep belongings dry—especially on hikes.
• Toiletries in zip-lock bags: Altitude changes may cause pressure leaks; seal your liquids to avoid spills.
• Insect repellent: A must-have for trails and Machu Picchu to keep mosquitoes and bugs at bay.
• Camera or smartphone with ample memory: Capture the stunning scenery and unforgettable moments.
• Small, secure lock: Keep your belongings safe during transport and at your hotel.

🧳 Smart Luggage Choices

For a hassle-free experience, we recommend:

• One rolling suitcase (max 10kg): Lightweight, with smooth wheels and sturdy handles for navigating busy airports and uneven terrain.
• One 30L daypack: Spacious enough for essentials like snacks, extra layers, and valuables. Look for padded straps, a hydration pocket, rain cover, and easy-access compartments.

🎒 Choosing the right gear sets the stage for an exciting, seamless, and unforgettable experience at Machu Picchu.
Reserve your spot early and pack smart—your adventure of a lifetime awaits!

What You Need to Know for Your 5-Day Machu Picchu Tour

✈️ Arriving in Cusco

Your journey to discover the breathtaking wonders of Machu Picchu begins upon arrival in the city of Cusco. Accessible only via domestic flights, travelers must first land in Lima, pass through customs, retrieve their luggage, and then check in again for a connecting flight to Cusco.

Flying is the most popular way to reach Cusco, with reliable airlines such as LATAM (formerly LAN), though prices can be higher. Keep in mind that due to Cusco’s high elevation, weather conditions may occasionally delay or cancel flights. For the more adventurous, buses offer a scenic (but long) ride—around 20 hours from Lima—or a more manageable trip from nearby cities like Puno.

Once in Cusco, it’s essential to acclimate to the altitude. Sitting at 3,400 meters (11,155 feet), the city’s elevation may trigger altitude sickness. Take the first couple of days to rest, hydrate well, and avoid strenuous activities. Many travelers find relief in coca tea—a traditional remedy for altitude symptoms. Proper acclimatization greatly enhances your experience of Machu Picchu and surrounding attractions.

🚐 Arrival & Departure Transfers

Upon arrival in Cusco, a member of our team will greet you at the airport. Look for our representative holding a sign with the SPT Travel & Tours logo. You’ll be escorted to your hotel for a smooth and welcoming start to your adventure. On your departure day, we’ll pick you up from your hotel approximately two hours before your flight. The ride to the airport takes 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic. Be sure to check your flight details in advance and keep in mind potential airport taxes.

🧳 Leave Your Suitcase Behind

To travel light and worry-free during your 5-day Machu Picchu adventure, you can safely leave your main suitcase at the hotel. Instead, pack a small daypack with essentials such as water, snacks, sunscreen, a hat, camera, and personal medications. Traveling light allows you to fully enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and historic sites with ease and comfort.

💵 Bring Cash

Carrying cash is essential in both Cusco and Machu Picchu. While credit cards are accepted at larger establishments, cash is often needed for spontaneous purchases or small expenses. We recommend bringing Peruvian soles and some small-denomination U.S. dollars. ATMs are available in larger cities but may be limited in more remote areas. Currency exchange services are accessible at the airport and in main towns, so there’s no need to exchange money before arriving.

🚍 Transportation Experience

Enjoy first-class comfort and scenic views during your 5-day Machu Picchu tour. Travel aboard modern, well-equipped buses and a panoramic train ride that showcases the stunning Peruvian countryside. Buses feature air-conditioning and large windows for sightseeing, while the train’s wide panoramic windows offer an immersive visual experience as you approach Machu Picchu.

👟 Wear Comfortable Shoes

Comfortable footwear is essential to explore the cultural and natural treasures that await. Be prepared for uneven surfaces, stairs, and cobblestone paths. Choose sturdy shoes with good grip and cushioning so you can stay focused on the amazing views and rich history unfolding before you.

🧑‍🏫 Your Tour Guide

An experienced and licensed guide will accompany you throughout the tour, bringing the region’s exceptional history, culture, and nature to life. Fluent in both English and Spanish, your guide ensures everyone feels engaged and informed. Their passion for the Inca civilization and warm, approachable style make the journey educational and enjoyable, fostering curiosity and connection among travelers.

🌎 About the Group

Our 5-day Machu Picchu tour groups are diverse and vibrant, attracting travelers from around the world. This multicultural environment creates enriching opportunities to share stories and perspectives. While travelers come from various backgrounds, English is typically the common language used, helping to build a sense of unity and friendship throughout the trip.

🏔️ Altitude Awareness

At 3,400 meters (11,155 feet), Cusco’s high altitude can be challenging. Allow your body time to adjust by spending at least two days in Cusco before heading into the Andes. Symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or dizziness can be eased with gradual acclimatization, hydration, and avoiding alcohol and caffeine. If you experience severe symptoms, our guides are always available and can assist with medical support if needed. With proper preparation, you’ll be ready to explore everything this high-altitude region has to offer.

🌤️ Weather in Cusco

Cusco’s weather can surprise even seasoned travelers. The dry season (April to October) typically brings clearer skies, though sudden showers can still occur. Be prepared by packing full waterproof gear: jacket, pants, poncho, and even rain gloves. The Andes are known for their microclimates, so layering is key for adjusting to temperature shifts. A warm, compact padded jacket will keep you cozy during cooler nights.

🛡️ Travel Insurance

Protect your travel plans with comprehensive travel insurance—it’s not just wise, it’s essential. Insurance provides financial security in case of unexpected events such as cancellations, delays, medical emergencies, or lost luggage. Organizing coverage from home is simple and allows you to focus on the excitement of your journey. Having insurance means peace of mind while you explore new destinations.
