Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to help you prepare for your day in Cusco.
What should I wear for the City Tour?
Cusco's weather can change quickly. We highly recommend dressing in layers (a t-shirt, a warm sweater, and a light jacket). Comfortable walking shoes are essential as we will be walking on cobblestone streets and archaeological sites.
Do I need to worry about altitude sickness?
Cusco is situated at approximately 3,400 meters (11,152 feet) above sea level. While this tour is not physically strenuous, we recommend drinking plenty of water, enjoying coca tea, and avoiding heavy meals on your first day to help acclimatize.
Are entrance tickets included in the price?
Yes, the required Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turistico) for the archaeological sites and the specific entry tickets for the Cathedral and Qoricancha are completely included in your package.
