About the city

Local Weather

October in Cusco usually has mild days (around 18–20 °C / 64–68 °F) and colder nights (around 5–7 °C / 41–45 °F). We recommend bringing warm clothing, especially for evenings and early mornings.

Altitude

Cusco is located at approximately 3,400 meters (11,200 feet) above sea level. Some visitors may experience mild altitude sickness (soroche), with symptoms such as headache, fatigue, or shortness of breath. We recommend taking it easy the first day, staying well hydrated, and avoiding heavy meals or intense physical activity. Local infusions (such as coca tea) and over-the-counter medication can also help alleviate symptoms.

Additional Information

Taxis are available at Cusco airport. The fare to the city center should be around 12 soles (approximately 5 USD). You can also use apps such as Uber or Cabify.
