RECOMMENDATIONS
WHEN TO TRAVEL?
Remember that you can visit Cusco all year round; however, the weather may be a very important factor to consider. If you want to make the most of your visit to Cusco, the dry season from April to October will be the best; this is because you will be able to do more outdoor activities. Keep in mind that if you travel in high season you will find a large number of tourists. On the other hand, during the months of November to March the rainy season can cancel access to some attractions.
HEIGHT DISEASE
Because the city is located above 3,000 meters above sea level, many people experience slight dizziness, nausea and even headaches. In case you experience any of these symptoms, it is best to take a rest for a few hours; there are also medications such as pills and infusions that you can take if you wish.
