For a Walking Tour in Cusco, it is recommended to wear comfortable and sturdy footwear, such as hiking shoes or hiking boots, which provide good support for the feet and ankles. The streets of Cusco are cobblestone and can be quite steep in some areas, so a good grip on the sole of the sneakers or boots is important to avoid slipping or accidents.
As for clothing, it is advisable to wear clothes that allow you to adjust to temperature changes, as temperatures can vary significantly during the day. During the dry season, mornings and evenings can be cool, while during the day it can be very hot. It is recommended to wear a light jacket, a short-sleeved shirt and comfortable pants.
