Acclimatize first
Spend a day taking it easy on arrival to reduce altitude sickness risk—drink water and avoid heavy meals or alcohol.
Carry small change
Vendors and some cable car stations accept cash only; keep small Bolivianos for snacks and local transit.
Dress in layers
Sun is strong but winds can be cold—layering lets you adapt quickly between plazas, markets and higher viewpoints.
Start early
Morning light brings clearer views of the mountains and smaller crowds at popular markets and viewpoints.
Layered clothing
Light base layer, fleece and windproof shell let you adapt to strong sun and cold winds.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good tread helps on cobblestones, steep streets and occasional slippery steps.
Water bottle with filter or purification tablets
Hydration is crucial at altitude—having safe water reduces the need to buy single-use plastic bottles.
Sunscreen and sunglasses
High-altitude UV can be intense even on cool days; protect skin and eyes during outdoor segments.
