Acclimatize in Cusco
Spend your first day resting and avoid strenuous activity to reduce altitude sickness risk; drink plenty of water and consider coca tea.
Bring original ID
You must present the same passport used to buy Machu Picchu tickets when entering the site; keep it accessible.
Early entry advantage
Book the earliest Machu Picchu slot available to avoid mid-morning clouds and larger crowds on terraces and viewpoints.
Protect the stonework
Stay on marked paths and follow your guide—stepping on ancient terraces accelerates erosion and is often prohibited.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Firm soles and ankle support help on steep Inca steps and cobbled streets.
Layered clothing
Temperatures swing from warm sun to cold mornings—layers keep you comfortable.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Hydration is essential at altitude; filtered bottles reduce plastic waste.
Sun protection (hat, high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses)
High-elevation UV is strong even on cloudy days—protect skin and eyes.
