PERU TRAVEL

  5 votes
Peru the most incredible destination in South America. Visit Peruvian highlight cities: the Nazca lines and the oldest civilization in the Americas.


When you think of Peru, do you imagine visiting the Incan Imperial City of Cusco, walking the Inca Trail, or experiencing the mysteries of the New Seven Wonders of the World Machu Picchu? We have an extremely diverse country with beautiful beaches, trekking through the Andes [Salkantay trek, Ausangate trek, Choquequirao trek, etc.], cycling to sacred valley of the Incas, or watching incredible condors in the Colca canyon near Arequipa, and Titicaca Lake in Puno.

PERU TRAVEL TIPS
Advice For High Altitude and Adventure Life
1-Prepare yourself for the altitude well by spending at least several days in a high place (eg. Cusco, Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca) before departing. (3 to 4 days is ideal).
2.- Acclimatization to altitude are completely different! You can be very fit but still suffer from the altitude. Also, you may have been at altitude before and not suffered effects but then feel it the next time. We really recommend acclimatizing – even to get your lungs used to breathing the thinner air!
Stay properly hydrated. Acclimatization is often accompanied by fluid loss, so you need to drink lots of fluids to remain properly hydrated (at least 3-4 quarts per day). Urine output should be copious and clear.

What's really great:

Take it easy; don’t over-exert yourself when you first get up to altitude. Light activity during the day is better than sleeping because respiration decreases during sleep, exacerbating the symptoms.
Avoid tobacco and alcohol and other depressant drugs including, barbiturates, tranquilizers, and sleeping pills. These depressants further decrease the respiratory drive during sleep resulting in a worsening of the symptoms.
Eat a high carbohydrate diet (more than 70% of your calories from carbohydrates) while at altitude.
The acclimatization process is inhibited by dehydration, over-exertion, and alcohol and other depressant drugs

Sights:
Then the tour proceeds to the residential and modern quarters of San Isidro and Miraflores and the tour ends up at the seaside where you will contemplate the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. Transfer to the bus station to board your Pullman bus bound for the southern town of Ica (regular service). The ride takes four hours and half. Overnight. Day 03: Ica / Paracas / Nazca (B) Breakfast at hotel. 06:30 hrs Transfer to Paracas and arrival to the pier to board your boat and start off your excursion to Ballestas Islands which is also known as the “Little Galapagos”. From the sea we can contemplate “El Candelabro” which is a geoglyph, carved on a hillside on the way to Ballestas islands. Departure to Nazca by bus in the afternoon. Arrival lodging and overnight. Day 04: Nazca / Arequipa (B) Breakfast at hotel.In the morning, transfer to the local airfield to over fly the mysterious and enigmatic Nazca Lines.

3.- Fitness. It depends how fit you are. If you are of moderate fitness then you should have no problem doing our treks – just take it easy. If you are not particularly fit, then it might help to do some walking up hills prior to leaving home.
4.-Go at your own pace. It’s not a race. Most of our tours have adequate time for you to take it easy along the trail. We also find it is more enjoyable to stop and rest frequently, admiring the landscapes than to arrive in camp early and sit in your tent!
5.-Everyone has their own style, but try going up hill taking slow, even steps.
6.-Make sure your trekking shoes/boots are well worn in. (Two weeks frequent wear!) Commonsense really, but there is nothing worse than hiking with ill-fitting or rubbing shoes. Makes every step agony!
