For a good acclimatization you must be in Cusco at least 2 days before the excursion starts

It would be better if you come from another high place, such as (Arequipa, Puno or Bolivia)

Book a tour that involves physical activity in height (check our programs)

Wear appropriate clothing for hikes

The climate of the Andes is very changeable, between (November - April) it is recommended to wear light, warm clothing, as well as a raincoat since it rains heavily, on the contrary between (April - October) it is very sunny.
