In Cusco city, the transportation is safe and comfortable and there would be always one for you but we always recommend you to get a safe one usually the ones with the sign on the top of the caps or the ones vinculated with the apps in case you will go out in the nights.
HEALTH
Because we are located at so high altitude it is common to feel out of breath, dizziness or physical sores, this is what we called the “ SOROCHE” or the High altitude sickness that is why we always recommend you to rest the first few hours that you arrived at the city and drink lot of water. After one or two days the sensation will disappear.
