Altitude in Cusco: Myth or Reality? How to Alleviate the Effects?
Cusco altitude is 3,350 meters above sea level. Many travelers experience altitude sickness, which can include symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea. These symptoms can be especially pronounced during physical activities like hiking if one is not adequately prepared. To help minimize the effects of altitude sickness, it is advisable to acclimatize for 2 to 3 days before embarking on hikes in Cusco. During this acclimatization period, it is important to stay hydrated, consume light meals, and get plenty of rest.
What is the best time to visit and hike in Cusco?
In contrast to many other places around the world that experience four distinct seasons—spring, summer, fall, and winter—Cusco has two well-defined seasons: the rainy season (from November to March) and the dry season (from April to October). This climate pattern is influenced by the Andes mountain range. Therefore, the best time to hike in Cusco is during the dry season, which runs from April to October.
