What is the climate like in Cusco?
The climate in Cusco is cool and dry for much of the year, with daytime temperatures ranging between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. However, due to the altitude, Cusco has a wide temperature variation between day and night, with nighttime temperatures that can drop below 5 degrees Celsius.
The climate in Cusco is divided into two main seasons: the dry season and the rainy season. The dry season extends from May to October and is considered the best time to visit Cusco due to its sunny and dry climate. The rainy season extends from November to April and is more humid and rainy, especially during the months of January and February.
Is it necessary to have experience on ATVs to take the tour?
No previous ATV riding experience is necessary to take the ATV tour. Many tours are designed for beginners and are guided by professionals who provide detailed instructions on how to operate the ATVs. In addition, practice sessions will be held before the tour begins to ensure that everyone is comfortable riding the ATVs.
What is the best time of the year to visit Maras - Moray?
The best time to visit Maras and Moray is during the dry season from May to October. During these months, the weather is generally dry and sunny, which makes it more pleasant to visit the sites and explore the natural landscapes of the area.
In addition, during the dry season, there is less likelihood of rain and less risk of landslides or road closures due to weather conditions. This makes travel and site visits safer and easier.
Is it necessary to acclimatize before visiting Cusco due to the altitude?
It is advisable to acclimatize before visiting Cusco due to the high altitude of the city. Cusco is located at an altitude of approximately 3,400 meters above sea level, which can cause soroche or altitude sickness in some people. Symptoms of altitude sickness can include headache, nausea, dizziness and shortness of breath.
To avoid altitude sickness, it is recommended to take a day or two to acclimatize before engaging in intense physical activities, such as walking or hiking. During this time, it is advisable to rest, stay hydrated, avoid consuming alcohol and heavy food, and drink coca tea, which is a natural remedy to alleviate the symptoms of soroche.
Is it possible to buy salt in the salt mines of Maras?
Yes, it is possible to buy salt produced in the salt mines of Maras. Visitors can buy salt directly from the local workers who produce it on site and take it home as a souvenir or for personal consumption. In addition, some stores and stalls near the salt pans also sell salt from Maras. The salt produced in these salt pans is considered to be of high quality and is valued for its unique flavor and characteristics.
What is the altitude of Maras and Moray?
Maras is at an altitude of approximately 3,300 meters above sea level, while Moray is at an altitude of approximately 3,500 meters above sea level. It is important to consider altitude when planning a visit to these sites, especially if traveling from a lower altitude area, as there may be health effects associated with altitude sickness or soroche.
