Timeline
Ready to embark on this magical adventure?
Arrival in Cusco
When your flight arrives in Cusco, our team will be waiting to take you to your hotel.
The city of Cusco is nestled in the Andes Mountains, at an altitude of 3,400 meters above sea level. Therefore, a welcome tea made with coca leaves will be served at the hotel, suggested to alleviate the effects of altitude sickness.
Our team will give you practical tips and sightseeing ideas in the city, as well as important information about the altitude and how to adapt to the climate.
We recommend that you stay at the hotel throughout the day, rest, and only go for short walks a few hours later.
