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

Comfortable and Warm Clothing: The weather in the Amaru Community can be unpredictable, with cold temperatures in the mornings and evenings. It is recommended to wear comfortable walking clothes and additional layers to adapt to temperature changes throughout the day.
Proper Footwear: Wear comfortable and sturdy footwear, ideal for walking on uneven terrain. This is especially important if you plan to explore the surroundings of the community or participate in outdoor activities.
Sun Protection: Although the temperatures may be cool, the altitude in the Amaru Community can intensify sun exposure. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or cap to protect yourself from UV rays.
Camera: The Amaru Community and its surroundings offer stunning landscapes. Don’t forget your camera to capture unique views, from the nearby mountains to the cultural moments you’ll experience.
Respect for Local Customs: Amaru is a community that preserves its ancestral traditions. Always show respect for their customs, rituals, and daily life. This includes being respectful of the residents and their cultural practices.
Hydration and Snacks: Due to the activities involving walking and working in the fields, it’s important to stay well-hydrated. Bring a water bottle and some snacks to keep your energy up throughout the day.
Willingness to Live the Experience: This tour is more than just a visit; it’s an immersion into the life and traditions of the community. Keep an open and curious attitude to make the most of this experiential journey.
Cash: There are not many options to withdraw money in the Amaru Community, so it’s advisable to bring some cash for small expenses, such as local handicraft purchases or tips.

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.
