You should sleep one night in Lima, rest well in your hotel, and the next day travel to Cusco. Before and upon arrival in Cusco, drink medicine for altitude sickness (soroche). In your hotel in Cusco also drink an infusion of coca leaves (the coca has alkaloids), which will help you to oxygenate and acclimatize better. Avoid smoking cigarettes, or drinking alcoholic beverages and coffee that obstruct the best oxygenation. It is a good idea to first visit Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machupicchu, and then the Rainbow Mountain. This way you will not feel altitude sickness symptoms.
It is advisable to make the trip with a personal backpack. Specially to travel to Machu Picchu you should carry a backpack smaller than 30 liters, otherwise, you will have to pay a surcharge on the freight train and you will have to make a long procedure to send your luggage. In all the tours, in your small backpack you must carry: all the tickets that will be given to you in Cusco (tourist tickets of the places to visit. Also train and bus tickets from Consettur). Identification documents: Passport and if you are a student your university card. Also bring mosquito repellent (Machupicchu), personal medication, pills for altitude sickness and extra money (PEN).
This tour starts and ends in the city of Cusco. To join the group, you must make sure your flight arrives at the Cusco airport before 11 am. We will be waiting for you at the airport to transfer you to your hotel.

You must book the international flight tickets from your country to Lima – Peru and the local flights from Lima to Cusco. We will book the hotels in Cusco and Machu Picchu, all the entrance tickets to the places to visit, and the train tickets to Machu Picchu.
You will arrive in Cusco to fully enjoy your visit and you don’t need to waste your time looking for sales points and waiting in endless lines.
Most travelers arrive in Cusco by plane. You must fly from your country to Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima – Peru and then have to take a local flight from Lima to Cusco. There are four airlines that operate round-trip flights between Lima and Cusco: LATAM Airlines, AVIANCA Airlines, Star Peru, and Peruvian Airlines. They all offer similar schedules and in-flight service, but we generally recommend LATAM or AVIANCA Airlines, as they tend to be more accommodating when unexpected cancellations or delays occur.
In Peru, 220 volts, 60 Hz frequency, and A/B /C type plugs are used.
It is recommended to bring an adapter or converter according to the voltage, frequency, and plugs used in your country. Although most hotels and even homes in Peru now have the standard U.S. plug.
