Here are some important considerations to help you make the most of your experience with All Tours Peru:

  • Comfortable and warm clothing: The weather can be variable, with cold temperatures in the morning and evening. Bring comfortable clothing for walking and several layers to adapt to temperature changes.

  • Appropriate footwear: Wear comfortable and durable shoes for hiking, especially if you’re exploring areas with uneven terrain or hiking up the Quimsaychata Volcano.

  • Sun protection: Even though the weather may be cold, the altitude can intensify sun exposure. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or cap.

  • Camera: Raqchi offers stunning views, from the Temple of Wiraqocha to the Andean landscapes. Don’t forget to charge your camera to capture these unique moments.

  • Respect for local customs: The Raqchi community preserves ancestral traditions. Always show respect for their customs, rituals, and daily life.

  • Hydration and snacks: Bring a water bottle and some snacks, as the hikes and activities can be intense.

  • Willingness to live the experience: This tour is not only about visiting places but also about immersing yourself in the local culture. Keep an open and curious attitude to make the most of your experiential journey.

  • Cash: Although it’s not common, bring some cash for small expenses or tips. Keep in mind that there are few options for withdrawing money in the area.

Recommendations from the Amaru Community:

Acclimate to the Altitude: Since the Amaru Community is located at a considerable altitude, it is recommended to spend a few days in Cusco or another high-altitude area before traveling, to allow your body to adjust.
Get Plenty of Sleep: Ensure you get a good night’s rest before your visit to the community to avoid fatigue during the tour activities.
Avoid Motion Sickness: If you’re prone to motion sickness due to winding roads, bring appropriate medication to prevent discomfort.
Respect the Environment: Follow the «Leave No Trace» principle. Do not leave trash behind and respect the local wildlife, as well as the natural surroundings of the Amaru Community.
Bring Sunglasses: Solar radiation can be intense, especially at high altitudes. Protect your eyes with sunglasses and bring sunscreen to protect your skin.

Respect for Local Culture: The Amaru Community preserves ancestral traditions and deep-rooted customs. It is essential to show respect for their way of life, rituals, and beliefs, especially during cultural activities such as traditional weaving or the Pachamama thanksgiving ceremony.
Adapting to the Andean Climate: The temperature in the Amaru Community can vary, so it’s important to bring appropriate clothing for the cold, especially in the mornings and evenings. During the day, temperatures can be warmer, so lightweight layers are also recommended. Don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses.
Physical Preparation: If you plan to participate in outdoor activities, such as walking through the fields or exploring the surroundings, ensure that you’re in good physical condition to fully enjoy the experience.
Respect the Natural Environment: The Amaru Community is surrounded by stunning but fragile natural landscapes. Avoid interfering with local flora and fauna, and always follow recommendations to protect the environment.
Local Currency: In the Amaru Community, ATM services are limited, so it’s advisable to bring enough cash for purchases or tips. Transactions are made in Peruvian soles.
Communication: Although Spanish is the official language, some community members may speak Quechua. Learning a few basic phrases in Quechua or Spanish can be a appreciated gesture by the locals and will help you connect with them more easily.
Hydration and Health: Due to the altitude, it’s important to stay well-hydrated. Bring enough water for walks and activities. It’s also recommended to bring personal medications and ensure there are no contraindications for high-altitude conditions.
Travel Time: The trip from Cusco to the Amaru Community takes about one hour, so it’s helpful to bring entertainment or snacks for the journey.
Safety: While the Amaru Community is generally safe, it’s always advisable to stay alert with your belongings and follow the guide’s instructions to ensure your safety and well-being throughout the tour.
Willingness to Learn and Enjoy: Visiting the Amaru Community is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in local life and ancestral traditions. Keep an open mind, actively participate in activities, and enjoy the cultural exchange to make your experience truly memorable.
