Local insider tips
• Acclimatise to altitude in Cusco for a day or two before strenuous treks. Carry soles for small towns, and book Machu Picchu tickets months ahead — daily visitor numbers are capped. • Hydrate well the day before, not just on the day. A light, high-energy snack keeps you going between stops.
