Visiting
Machu Picchu is an once-in-a-lifetime experience and truly unforgettable. To
make the trip an even more exciting one, you should consider hiking. It can be
a little painful for someone who doesn’t move much, but once you reach your
destination, the aches will vanish. Though, there are a few things that you
should know before booking your trip from a travel company. These prerequisites
will make the tough climb relatively manageable so that you can concentrate
more on the surroundings rather than on the blisters and sore muscles. Do
remember to make friends with your fellow trekkers who can also aid in
redirecting your focus.
1.
Be
season-ready: As you keep gaining height, the
temperature will become more and more extreme. On Luxury Treks to Machu Picchu booked
from phototoursperu.com, you may
experience everything from hot sunshine to freezing chills. Even if there is no
sun, you will sweat profusely, while climbing the steep ascents. The nights
will be cold, so you need to pack extra layers, which you can take off during
the day.
2.
Shoes
and sandals: As you will be climbing
mountainous areas, wearing the right shoes is of utmost essentiality. You can’t
purchase a pair of walking boots a couple of days ahead of the trip and wear
them before the climb. Even on Luxury Treks to Machu Picchu, people end up with
broken toenails due to new boots. Do
remember to don shoes that are well worn-in. Letting your feet breathe is also
a necessity, so carry along a pair of sandals or flip flops to wear at night.
3.
Food
and drink: Eating well before the hike is
mandatory, but hydration is even more vital. Keep drinking as much water as
possible and have a backup of hydration salts for unexpected situations. The
sweat will drain you out leaving you not only dehydrated and parched but also
devoid of essential salts. Hydration is also a great way to avoid experiencing
altitude-related sicknesses. Altitude slows down your digestion capabilities so
that you might feel a lack of appetite. However, if you acclimatize well, the
appetite loss will disappear soon. Keep munching on snacks even when you don’t
feel particularly company.
4.
For
altitude sickness: Soroche is an altitude
disease which may affect you during the hike. If you’re fit and have a lot of
stamina, then chances are less. Though, it is essential to seek the advice of a
doctor before leaving. There is a medicine which can relieve you from soroche,
but you will need a physician’s permission to consume it because the drug has
some side-effects. You may also require anti-diarrhea tablets too if you’re
prone to an upset stomach when in foreign countries.
5.
Do
tip the porters: The trek along the Inca trail will
leave you all huffy and puffy, and you will think that it is only your luck
that allowed you to reach the campsite before fainting. The porters, on the
other hand, will carry your luggage, will wake up before you, cook delicious
meals for you, take down the tents, chairs, and everything else. The strength
and stamina of these porters are superhumanly, but the trek itself will tell
you that those people toil a lot. So, be kind and carry some cash with you to
tip the porters.
Now start climbing
You
have all the prerequisites to make the trek a successful one. Now, you can place
the booking order via the web to one of the best Peru tourism organizers. If
you are a photography enthusiast, then this travel agency is the best for you
since its owner is an experienced photographer too. The view from the top of
Machu Picchu is incredible in every respect and trying to describe it will be
almost equal to sinning. Without spending any more of your valuable time, book
your trip now because the travel agency asks you to be prompt with the booking
since there is a stringent limit on the number of tourists following the trail
per day.
