Recommendations for your trip

Health Recommendations

The Pachamama Offering Tour takes place in Cusco at over 3,300 m.a.s.l., so it is recommended to arrive at least 1 day in advance for proper acclimatization. If you have heart, respiratory, or blood pressure issues, or if you are pregnant, please inform the agency before booking.
The walk to the Temple of the Moon and the ceremonies take place outdoors, so it is important to move at a comfortable pace and take breaks whenever needed.
Stay hydrated throughout the activity, as the altitude and dry climate can cause fatigue or dehydration.
Bring sunscreen, a hat or cap, sunglasses, water, light snacks, and any personal medication you may require.
Avoid heavy meals and alcoholic beverages the day before the tour, as they may affect your performance at high altitude.
The weather in Cusco can vary between strong sun, wind, and light rain. Wear layered clothing and a waterproof jacket, as the ceremonies take place in open spaces.
Respect the natural environment, sacred spaces, and the tranquility of the area throughout the experience.
