Weather conditions
It can be quite hot during the day, even at altitude. Peru is characterized by frequent but brief rains. Therefore, be sure to take a good membrane jacket and pants, and do not forget the sunscreen. In the evening at altitude it gets cold, night frosts can reach temperatures down to -15C, so do not forget a warm fleece and thermal underwear.
Preparing
Peru is a mountainous country. Therefore, immediately upon arrival in Cusco you get to an altitude of 3400 m. We strongly recommend you to arrive 1-2 days earlier in order to acclimatize before the program and give your body time to adjust to a different time zone. On the first day of the program we move to Puno, which is located at an altitude of 3900 m. Without proper acclimatization it will be difficult for you to cope with such altitude. And apart from not enjoying the trip because of weakness and headache, the first day of the trek can be your last one because of the mountain sickness. So don't spare an extra 2 days of vacation to help your body and ensure you feel good. There are many interesting places to do in Cusco, we can help you with that. As an option, from Cusco you can take a train to Machu Picchu (2400 m), which will provide you with a smoother acclimatization.
Don't spare money on equipment
Buy good, quality gear. On this tour in Peru, you will feel the full advantage of expensive membranes over cheap ones. It must be of high quality and reliable to withstand the northern rains and winds. Your comfort and enjoyment of the hike depends on your choice of gear. Good membrane pants and jacket, windproof waterproof tent, comfortable waterproof boots - a must have in this hike.
