Prepare for Altitude: Expect high altitudes in Cusco and Machu Picchu. Drink plenty of water, get rest, and try coca tea to ease symptoms like fatigue or headache.

Pack for Varied Weather: Bring light clothing for warm days and warm layers for chilly nights. Include a rain jacket, especially if traveling from November to March.

Bring Local Currency: Use Peruvian soles (S/). Carry small bills, as many places accept cash only. Find ATMs easily in major towns and cities.

Keep Your Belongings Safe: Stay alert in public areas. Avoid showing valuables, and store items in hotel safes when available.

Learn Basic Spanish: Use simple phrases like ¡Hola! (hello) and ¡Gracias! (thank you). Although English is common in tourist zones, a few Spanish words go a long way.

Check Your Electronics: Use devices with 220V and plugs of types A, B, and C. Bring a universal adapter if needed.
