Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to acclimatize to the altitude?
Although the program is designed for proper progression, we recommend arriving in Huaraz a couple of days before the start of the program to optimize the body's response..
Is it better to bring a credit card or cash to Peru?
It is recommended to carry cash. Although cards are accepted in many stores, ATMs tend to have low daily withdrawal limits and the exchange to soles is easy.
Is it very cold in these mountains?
Being glaciers in temperate zones, temperatures are usually milder than at similar altitudes in the southern Andes, although we should never underestimate the mountain climate..
How do I get from Lima to Huaraz?
There are direct daily flights. Another very common option is the regular bus, which makes the trip in approximately 8 hours..
