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.

Amazing! We had the most incredible experience on a Machu Picchu tour with our guide, Yeni, and I cannot recommend it enough. Yeni was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of Machu Picchu but also incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire journey. Her passion for the site was evident in every detail she shared, making the experience both educational and inspiring. The tour was excellently organized, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable day despite its length. We were picked up promptly and comfortably, and all transportation was seamlessly arranged, allowing us to focus on soaking in the breathtaking views and rich history. The weather was perfect, adding to the overall enchantment of the day. If you’re planning a trip to Machu Picchu, I highly recommend booking a tour with Yeni. Her expertise and warm personality will make your visit unforgettable, and you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for this iconic destination.Publicado en Tripadvisor![]()

Conociendo la majestuosidad de Machupichu Yeni, nuestra guía en el recorrido del Majestuoso Machupichu, fue una persona muy amable, atenta y cercana. Nos ayudó a comprender cada detalle de la experiencia y supo transmitirnos sus conocimientos sobre nuestros antepasados incas de una manera clara, amena y llena de sensibilidad. Fue un verdadero placer contar con su acompañamiento. Nos regresamos con el corazón lleno y con muchas ganas de volver, siempre recordaremos con cariño esta hermosa experiencia y todo lo que aprendimos y sentimos durante el recorrido. Estamos profundamente agradecidos contigo, Yeni, por compartir con pasión tus conocimientos y agradecidos a la Pachamama por permitirnos vivir un momento tan especial y significativo. Será un hasta pronto….🫶🏻🌟💕🫶🏻Publicado en Tripadvisor![]()
