Experience Cusco Safely
Cusco is generally a safe destination for tourists, but as with any popular location, it’s always good to be informed and prepared.
Stay Healthy at High Altitude
- Acclimatization: Dedicate the first few days to adjust to the altitude. The city of Cusco is located more than 3,400 meters above sea level, which can cause altitude sickness.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol in your first few days.
- Diet: Eat light, easily digestible foods while your body adjusts to the altitude.
Personal Safety on the Streets
- Avoid carrying visible valuables: Keep your important belongings such as passports and cameras securely and out of sight.
- Use reliable transportation: Prefer taxi services recommended by Saska Hotel Boutique or transport apps.
- Do not walk alone at night in isolated areas: Stay in well-lit, populated places during the night.
Health and Well-being
- Pharmacies and medical care: Cusco has several pharmacies and clinics for any medical need. At Saska Hotel Boutique, we can guide you to the right care if necessary.
- Sun and weather protection: Despite the cold, the sun in Cusco is strong. Use sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses during the day.
Enjoy Cusco’s Rich Culture with Respect
- Respect for local traditions: Cusco is a place of deep cultural significance. When visiting sacred sites or participating in local ceremonies, show respect for customs and traditions.
