For those hikers coming to Cusco directly from sea level, we recommend arriving 2 days before your hike. Two of the most common health issues among tourists in Cusco are:
Altitude sickness (Soroche) and stomach pain caused by slow digestion.
Altitude sickness symptoms include: headache and nausea.
- Stomach pain:It is recommended to drink 3-4 liters of water per day. Your body will need it to stay hydrated. Hot drinks like coca leaf tea are especially recommended.

Do not drink alcohol or smoke.
Try to sleep at least 8 hours and avoid excessive exercise. Keep your body at an appropriate temperature by wearing warm clothes to protect yourself from the cold. During the adjustment to altitude, there is a general rule to follow: eat what is necessary and drink plenty of fluids.

Most people travel to Cusco by air. Please note that Cusco’s airport only operates domestic flights. Therefore, if you are coming directly from abroad to Lima, you will need to collect your luggage at the airport and check it again for your flight to Cusco.

All of these airlines offer similar flight schedules and services, but we generally recommend LATAM Airlines. You also have the option of traveling to Cusco by land.
