Tour Inca Jungle Machu Picchu Tours 4 Days

Which route should i take, By air or by land?.

To start our Inca jungle tour to Machu Picchu 4 days, we need to get to the city of Cusco, for this we can take the flight that arrives at the Alejandro Velasco Astete Airport, currently there are several airlines that provide air transport service Lima-Cusco, among which we can mention, LATAM, VIVA AIR, SKY AIRLINE, STAR PERU. Of all of them being the most recommended LATAM, for the variety of schedules that handles.

The option of travel by land is also a good option, but you always have to look for the best options and offer adequate comfort for the trip, the journey by bus is 22 hours, now if your journey is from Puno or Arequipa if you can take this option because the trip is usually cheaper and are only 12 hours of travel approx.

Cusco has the highest average elevation in the world. 

That is why people who travel at a lower level suffer from altitude sickness, “Soroche”. This is because at higher altitudes, less oxygen is contained than those who are at sea level, so the body works harder to get the oxygen it needs. That is why for long walks it is recommended to stay at least two days in Cusco.

Symptoms of altitude sickness are headache, tiredness, nausea, vomiting, sleep problems, loss of appetite, trouble breathing. Most of the time, the symptoms will be mild, but if they get worse, consult a doctor or contact our offices.

Coca tea is a recommended infusion for this disease, so within the accommodation it is always offered to counteract altitude sickness.

You must remember that you come to enjoy a trip through wonderful trails with people who will always be willing to help you, so you can relax and enjoy every moment.

The wheather in Cusco. 

One of the big questions is how the weather is in Cusco. It is easy to get this information on the internet, but you also have to take into account that each season and during these times the climates are changing. The dry season in Cusco is from April to October, but there will always be a sudden rain with lightning and thunder.

It is always advisable to have the appropriate rain gear, such as rain ponchos or waterproof jackets, waterproof gloves, and suitable shoes that do not slip in the rain.

First aid. 

Each member of the Andino Tours Peru staff has received first aid training from a specialist doctor. Every year we carry out this mandatory training, and on each of our excursions you will have a first-aid kit for basic medical problems (Traveler’s Diarrhea, scrapes, cuts, etc.) and, in fact, oxygen should not be lacking.

Travel insurance. 

To protect your trip, the purchase of travel insurance is recommended. Having insurance before the trip is highly recommended. I have agreements with companies that provide this service that will make your trip more pleasant and peaceful in Peru.

Environmental impact. 

For all our excursions, we have biodegradable soap, and all our garbage is returned to Cusco. Our staff is trained to take care of the environment. We use environmentally friendly chemical portable toilets.

We launched a program where for each traveler who reserves with us, we donate 10 trees that will be delivered to the communities of Mikaypata, Ninamarca, Huatoqto, and others, committing them to caring for the environment.
