What To Take Once You Book Your Machu Picchu Tour Package

By Jessica Peterson


Machu Picchu is an incredibly town that now lies in ruins. It is quite a site to behold. In order to enjoy the amazing scenery, you need to be comfortable. Therefore, think carefully when packing up for your trip. Once you have confirmed your Machu Picchu tour package booking, then start putting together stuff for your trip. Here are the most important things that you should pack.

You need to get yourself comfortable shoes. This is because you will be doing a lot of walking around. You can trek up to the ruins. This can take a few days, or even a couple of hours, depending on where you start trekking. Then once you get to the site, you will have to hike up the ruins for hours. There are a lot of rocks and loose stones in the area, so comfort is key when choosing shoes to wear. Since it can rain, get shoes that are water resistant too.

Comfort is key when selecting clothes. Dress according to the weather, based on whether you go during sunny season or rainy season. Keep in mind that you will also want to take photos, so choose clothes that will look good on you and match the background. Jeans can be a great choice of clothing, as you can wear it at anytime.

It tends to get cold on most days, just before the sun goes up. Therefore, carry something warm that you can put on at such times. As the day goes on, the weather will get hotter and hotter. So, layer dressing would be the ideal solution for you. Bring along a backpack, where you can put your clothes, as you take them off. Use sunscreen, as the sun can get pretty hot.

You will find some books helpful during this trip. This includes a Latin America Spanish phrasebook. It can help you learn some Spanish phrases, which you can use when talking to the locals. A guidebook can also give you a map of the area. It will also list some activities that you can do, as part of your trek.

Bring along your medications. Some medications can be bought at the town that is located close to the site, but you will need a subscription for some medicines, such as antibiotics. Carry some altitude sickness tabs, as you might get negatively affected by the high altitude. Motion sickness tabs can also come in handy, as the drive to the site can be quite bumpy. Insect repellent will also be useful in keeping bugs away.

Pack up your camera and water bottle. The water will help to keep you refreshed, especially if you carry it in a bottle that will keep water cool. Use your camera phone or special camera to capture beautiful photos.

Bring your personal effects. This includes things such as deodorant, cream, toothbrush and a comb. You can also carry wet wipes and lip balm. You can either come with them or buy them from the town that is close to the site.
