Builtover 500 years ago, this mythical trail to Machu Picchuwas a pilgrimage route reserved only for Inca nobility.

For some visitors these symptoms candeteriorate into a condition known as acute mountainsickness (AMS) with resulting headaches, loss of appetite,extreme tiredness, insomnia, dizziness and sometimesnausea. Symptoms usually develop within the first day ortwo at altitude. To prevent altitude sickness you should tryto take things easy as soon as you arrive, rest and drinkplenty of fluids. Do not plan any strenuous treks until youhave acclimatised for a few days. You should avoid alcohol,cigarettes and heavy foods. Drinking mate de coca, aninfusion of coca leaves may help. If symptoms becomemore severe and prolonged you should quickly seek medicalattention and make arrangements to descend to a loweraltitude. After recovery you can re-ascend slowly or instages. Some visitors use the drug Diamox to speed up theacclimatisation process and counteract the symptoms ofaltitude sickness.Cusco is located at an altitude of 3,400m above sea level.If arriving from sea level, for example from Lima, werecommend that you spend at least 2 days in Cusco prior tostarting the Inca Trail. This will allow you to acclimatize andgive you time to enjoy the beautiful city and its surrounds.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Good quality sporting equipment is very hard to find inPeru, so if anyone wishes to donate any outdoor clothes,sleeping bags etc. they will be gratefully received by any ofour staff.
