• Physical Preparation: Ensure you are in good physical shape, as the trek is demanding and requires stamina. Train with long walks and uphill climbs before the trip.
• Proper Gear: Bring suitable trekking clothing, including comfortable hiking boots, warm clothing, waterproof gear, and sun protection.
• Acclimatization: Spend a few days in Cusco before the trek to acclimate to the altitude and avoid altitude sickness.
• Hydration and Nutrition: Stay well-hydrated and carry enough energy snacks. Water is essential, so ensure you have access to potable water or carry purification tablets.
• First Aid Kit: Bring a basic first aid kit with medicines for altitude sickness, pain, wounds, and insect bites.
