RECOMMENDATIONS:

To ensure your experience as a solo traveler in Machu Picchu is rewarding and comfortable, here are some specific recommendations:

• Identification or passport: Always carry your identification or passport with you. It is essential for identity verification at various points during your journey, particularly when traveling alone.
• Light luggage: Only carry-on luggage of up to 5 kg (11 lbs) is allowed on the train, so it is advisable to travel light. This is especially important for solo travelers, as you will need to handle your luggage independently throughout the trip.
• Essentials in a small backpack: Bring a small backpack with key items such as your camera, a cap, or hat to protect against the sun, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and a water bottle. Having these essentials on hand ensures comfort and well-being, especially when traveling alone.
• Appropriate footwear and clothing: As the tour of Machu Picchu involves climbing stairs and walking on uneven trails, wearing comfortable walking shoes and appropriate clothing is highly recommended. This is even more critical for solo travelers, as you’ll need to manage the hike independently.

These recommendations are designed to provide solo travelers with a safe, comfortable, and memorable experience in Machu Picchu. Enjoy your adventure with confidence and peace of mind!
