Understanding the Cusco Climate
The unique climate of Cusco varies depending on the season. Cusco has two main seasons:

Dry Season (May – October): Expect warm, sunny days ideal for outdoor trekking, with temperatures between 18°C and 21°C (65°F to 70°F), but chilly mornings and evenings that can drop to 2°C to 4°C (35°F to 40°F). Dress in layers to adjust to temperature changes.

Rainy Season (November – April): Temperatures are milder, between 15°C and 18°C (60°F and 65°F), but increased humidity and frequent afternoon rains are common. Waterproof clothing and sturdy shoes are essential.

Tour Difficulty
This adventure is suited for varying levels of fitness, although the high altitudes and varied trail conditions may present some challenges. Daily walks involve trekking on uneven and sometimes steep paths, so a moderate level of fitness will ensure you enjoy the tour to the fullest. Cusco’s altitude is 3399 meters (11,152 feet), and it is normal to experience symptoms of altitude sickness like headaches or shortness of breath. Arriving a few days early helps your body acclimatize. Keep hydrated, avoid alcohol, and eat light to aid the acclimatization process.

Dealing with Altitude
The reduced oxygen at high altitudes can make your body need time to adapt. Symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, nausea, and dizziness are common. Rest, staying hydrated, and drinking coca tea, known for alleviating altitude sickness, can help. Avoid alcohol and smoking and abstain from taking sleeping pills.

Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is crucial to safeguard your journey. It covers unforeseen circumstances such as cancellations, interruptions, medical emergencies, or lost baggage, saving you from significant financial burdens. Ensure you purchase travel insurance before your trip to give you peace of mind during your global adventures.
