Income is limited and it is advisable to book in advance. In the event that you want to visit Huayna Picchu, consider your reservation time 4 months before your visit.
These recommendations are important so that your experience in Machu Picchu is the best, given that the most popular tickets such as the circuit 1-2 Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu sell out too quickly.
The solution for those travelers who could not book in advance, is to buy tickets with alternative income circuit 4 or 3 where you will see Machu Picchu but you will not get to have the classic photo, you will be able to see the temples and see Machu Picchu from the lower part.

The most recommended way to prevent altitude sickness is progressive adaptation, that is, ascend moderately to adapt to the decrease in oxygen as you gain altitude. We recommend spending at least one day in Cusco without extreme physical effort to adapt to the altitude.
Taking care of the diet is also important, eating light foods that are easy to digest will help in the acclimatization process.
Be hydrated, at least drink 4 to 5 liters of water while you are in Cusco. Sleep at least 8 hours a day before your tours, keep your body rested without much physical effort. As a natural remedy, you can drink coca tea or chew it during your stay. The coca leaf will help you oxygenate at altitude more efficiently.
