Frequently Asked Questions FAQS
The first two days relax and don’t do anything very tiring. Rest and drink plenty of water. The diet should be healthy and low in fat. Alcohol and tobacco can affect you and worsen your condition.
Consult your doctor before traveling so that he or she can prescribe medication to relieve you during your stay. You can also get them in pharmacies in Cusco. Another option is to drink coca or muña tea (Andean mint), which are ancient remedies.
May to July are the coldest months in Cusco. The sun is strong during the day at this time, but it can be very cold once it goes down or if you are in the shade. At night, the temperature sometimes drops below zero, so warm clothing is essential in these months.
Between May and October is a good time, as it is the dry season, so you won’t get wet. However, the best month of the entire year is October. The weather is suitable and the sky is usually very clear. In addition, it is not the busiest season, so it is not overrun with visitors.
There is a one-day alternative that starts early in the morning and offers you transportation that takes you to the Ollantaytambo train and then to Aguas Calientes. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy the morning at Machu Picchu before heading down for lunch, relaxing a bit or walking around the town, and then the train and transportation back to Cusco.
