Recommendations:
The climate is one of the most important factors, since it is very changeable in this region. Between April and October is the dry season, so it is recommended to wear mainly light clothing and a thin jacket in case of wind or occasional rain; On the other hand, from November to March is the rainy season, so if you are going to travel during this time, it is essential to bring waterproof and warm clothing.
Important: The main luggage stays at the hotel in Cusco.
It is very important that you only carry what is necessary, Machu Picchu is a place to walk so you should avoid carrying a lot of weight. It is recommended to carry a light backpack and only what is strictly necessary should go inside. A light jacket, repellent and sunscreen; and some snacks is the most recommended.
Macchu Picchu
Another important detail is also the rest, when arriving in Cusco it is very important to take some time to rest, at least the first three days, then you can walk around the city and take advantage of visiting the tourist places so that your body gets used to the altitude. and thus be able to avoid dizziness and discomfort. For the first day, it is also recommended to drink plenty of fluids and avoid heavy meals, preferably only a soft diet for that day.
