You roll out of Cusco before the sun climbs hard over the high Andes and the valley opens like a map. The road to Ollantaytambo threads through puna grass, stone walls, and villages where alpaca fleece dries on lines; wind and altitude push against you, but the landscape rewards each mile with stepped fields and glinting salt pans.

Acclimatize first
Spend 24–48 hours in Cusco to reduce altitude sickness; hydrate and avoid heavy exertion on the first day.
Bring cash
Small markets and salt pan vendors prefer soles—carry small bills and coins for purchases and tips.
Layer for sun and cold
High valley mornings are chilly and afternoons can be hot; pack a sun hat and a warm shell.
Comfortable footwear
Terraces and cobbled streets are uneven—sturdy walking shoes with good grip make short hikes and market walks easier.
Water bottle (1–2 L)
Hydration at altitude is critical—use a reusable bottle to refill in towns.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen)
High-altitude sun is intense even on cool days—broad-spectrum sunscreen and a hat are essential.
