Typically, 40-50% of travelers encounter mild symptoms of altitude sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness. Common symptoms can include shortness of breath, fatigue, and even dizziness. This often occurs when visiting high-altitude destinations in Peru, Cusco, Arequipa, and Lake Titicaca. It is one of the reasons we ask all Inca Trail hikers to acclimate for a few days before starting the trek. 

Symptoms of altitude sickness generally alleviate after 24-48 hours in altitude. Best practices for minimizing its impact on your trip include drinking lots of water, resting, avoiding alcohol at all costs, and eating light non-fatty foods upon arrival at altitude.

It is always a good idea to consult with your doctor before traveling to high altitude destinations.

Travelers from countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union generally do not require a tourist visa to enter Peru for stays up to 90 days. However, ensuring your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended departure date is essential. Upon arrival at Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport, immigration officials will stamp your passport and specify the duration of your permitted stay, typically up to 90 days
