To ensure a better experience for trekkers in Cusco, it is highly recommended that all participants arrive at least two days prior to the trek start. This allows for proper acclimatization to the high altitude, which is a standard practice followed by all tour operators.

By giving yourself a couple of extra days in Cusco before the trek, you can adapt to the altitude and minimize the risk of altitude sickness. This preparation is crucial for enjoying the trek to its fullest and avoiding any potential health issues along the way.
