Acclimate before you go
Spend a day in Puno or rest after arrival—altitude around 3,800–3,900 m can cause headaches and fatigue; hydrate and move slowly.
Carry small bills
Bring cash in soles for island craft, small donations, and restroom fees—cards may not be accepted at local stalls.
Dress in layers
Weather shifts quickly on the altiplano—windproof outer layers and a warm mid‑layer make stops comfortable.
Plan morning departures
Early departures catch calm lake surfaces and softer light for photos while keeping afternoons free in Oruro.
Water bottle (1L+)
Hydration is critical at high altitude—refillable bottles reduce plastic and keep you comfortable.
Layered clothing
Quick changes in temperature and wind demand a warm mid-layer and a windproof shell.
Sunscreen and sunglasses
High-altitude sun is intense year-round; protect skin and eyes during lake stops.
