Before embarking on your adventure with Peru Cultural Horizons, here’s essential information to ensure you’re well-prepared for the journey ahead.
You’ll receive a pre-tour briefing, ideally two days before your trek departure. This session will cover the tour itinerary, necessary equipment, altitude considerations, and weather conditions. We’ll also address any inquiries or doubts to ensure you fully understand the itinerary.
To enhance your experience and minimize the risk of altitude sickness, it’s highly recommended that you arrive in Cusco at least two days before your trek. Symptoms of altitude sickness can include headaches, stomach issues, and tingling in the hands. To help prevent these symptoms, consider medications like acetazolamide, drink coca tea, and stay hydrated. If altitude sickness persists, descending to a lower elevation may be necessary as a last resort.
Set a steady pace and take breaks as needed to catch your breath—this helps reduce fatigue and allows you to enjoy the hike more. For beginner hikers, wearing sturdy hiking boots and using trekking poles can help maintain balance and stability.
The following lists are general guidelines to help you pack for your trek. The specific gear you’ll need may vary depending on the type of trek you choose.
These lists serve as a general guide. For more specific recommendations based on your chosen destination, feel free to contact us, and we’ll provide a detailed list of equipment and gear needed.
