Having been abandoned when the Spaniards conquered the Inca Empire a century later, its mysteries seem to cling to every crevasse of the structures that straddle the steep ridge to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pack comfortable walking shoes for your tour of Machu Picchu as you explore what remains of the Citadel, from the Temple of the Sun (<em>Torre\u00f3n)<\/em>&nbsp;to the Principle Temple. Climb up to the Sun Gate and look down on the ruins from above. And, if you\u2019re feeling particularly adventurous, the dramatic views from Huayna Picchu are unbeatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT<\/em><\/strong><em>: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/places-to-visit-peru\/\"><em>Icons, locals and beyond \u2013 Our top places to visit in Peru<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-wear-in-machu-picchu\"><strong>What to wear in Machu Picchu<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Switch your shorts and t-shirts for loose, quick-drying items. While it may be warm, even hot, and sunny, your priority when planning what to wear in Machu Picchu should be to shield your skin from the unforgiving sun and insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/a-young-woman-traveling-alone-looks-out-at-machu-p-AGLUPP8-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"Planning for vast temperatures is a good guide for what to pack for Machu Picchu\" class=\"wp-image-25371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/a-young-woman-traveling-alone-looks-out-at-machu-p-AGLUPP8-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/a-young-woman-traveling-alone-looks-out-at-machu-p-AGLUPP8-330x219.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/a-young-woman-traveling-alone-looks-out-at-machu-p-AGLUPP8.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also remember you\u2019re at altitude and that means unpredictable weather and vast differences in temperature between day and night. How to pack for this eventuality at Machu Picchu is key. That means adding a few warm layers to your luggage and packing a good rain jacket or poncho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll be doing a fair bit of walking, even if you don\u2019t plan to hike the Inca Trail, you\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re wearing comfortable footwear. This need not be hiking boots, but a sturdy, water resistant pair of walking shoes will do just as well \u2013 as long as your feet feel supported and stay dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this bit of advice doesn\u2019t extend to what to wear in Machu Picchu, it certainly is a must. Take care with your choice of a daypack. You\u2019re going to want space for those extra layers, your reusable water bottle, microfibre towel and camera. Make sure it&#8217;s not too big that you\u2019re tempted to overfill it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT<\/em><\/strong><em>: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/latin-america-bucket-list-experiences\/\"><em>No Latin America bucket list is complete without these 5 experiences<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/llama-at-machu-picchu-P9GU26S-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A local llama overlooks Machu Picchu\" class=\"wp-image-25373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/llama-at-machu-picchu-P9GU26S-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/llama-at-machu-picchu-P9GU26S-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/llama-at-machu-picchu-P9GU26S-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/llama-at-machu-picchu-P9GU26S-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/llama-at-machu-picchu-P9GU26S.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-pack-for-machu-picchu\"><strong>How to pack for Machu Picchu<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-refillable-water-bottle\"><strong>Refillable water bottle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Peruvians are pretty strict about what you\u2019re allowed to bring on your tour to Machu Picchu.

While you\u2019re at it, a small waterproof bag for your valuables and a microfibre towel will do just the trick to keep you dry.  It&#8217;s just what you need if there\u2019s an unexpected rain shower on your tour to Machu Picchu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-over-the-counter-medication\">Over-the-counter medication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stock up on your over-the-counter medication before you leave home. Add some high-altitude medication to the mix if you\u2019re particularly sensitive to the effects of altitude, or even if you\u2019re not sure. You will also be grateful for a stomach remedy, antihistamine and pain killers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keeping-charged\">Keeping charged<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pack a universal power adapter as buildings in Peru often feature different power sockets. You\u2019ll want to ensure you\u2019re fully charged to capture those epic views at all times. You may also wish to carry a portable power bank around and, if space allows, a travel-smart multi-charger so that you can charge more than one device at a time using your adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ready to<\/em> <em>pack for your tour to Machu Picchu?
