Top Mountains in Cusco

I recommend starting your hike around 5 AM to beat the crowds and catch the sunrise. Trust me, it’s worth it! The views are breathtaking and you’ll have a more peaceful experience.

My advice is to pack some snacks and water! The food options are limited and kinda pricey at the base. I spent way more on a sandwich than I expected.

If you’re not used to high altitudes, take it slow! I thought I was invincible, but the altitude hit me super hard. Altitude sickness is no joke – embrace the chill and enjoy the scenery.

Don’t forget sunscreen! I got burned even though it was chilly. The sun is super strong up there and you'll regret it later if you ignore this tip!

My advice is to start your hike around 7 AM. The weather is cooler, plus you'll have the trails mostly to yourself. I found the afternoon too crowded and hot last time.
