You step out of Alejandro Velasco Astete Airport into thin, dry air as the driver eases onto the Panamericana Norte and the city slides behind you. The road curls through a high plateau, then drops into the Sacred Valley: terraces, river bends and stone villages passing like frames in a slow film. The van hums; mountains keep watch.

Acclimatize before heavy activity
Arrive in Cusco a day before strenuous plans—this two-hour descent still crosses high terrain and a short rest helps prevent altitude symptoms.
Confirm stops in advance
If you want a market or viewpoint stop (Maras, Chinchero), request it at booking to allow time and route planning.
Pack layers and sun protection
Sun is strong at altitude while mornings can be cool—bring a light jacket and sunscreen for photo stops.
Keep local currency handy
Drivers may stop at small stands where card machines aren’t available; small bills are useful for souvenirs or toilets.
Layered jacket
A windproof mid-layer keeps you comfortable through high‑valley drafts and cooler mornings.
Sunglasses & sunscreen
High-altitude sun is intense; protection prevents sunburn during stops.
