“Hi! I'm going to cusco for three months! I want to do the inca trail but don't want to take malaria meds, is this possible? also, any other tips about the city would be great!”

Shashank Kansal answers,

As mentioned above, Malaria prevention is generally recommended for hot/tropical climates because that fosters mosquitoes.

However, you should still consult an authorised travel medical clinic before your travel.

I have travelled 80 countries and never gone against the specialist advice, because the last thing one would want is to be sick while travelling… other than losing passport/wallet ofcourse.

Inca Trail is fantastic! Enjoy. If you can – read the book “The Celestine Prophecy”, it will double your excitement!!


Peru, South America

katie_marie asks,

“So I have another question. I don't really eat meat, how will the food be in Peru?”

Shashank Kansal answers,

Hmmm interesting! I am a vegetarian too!! I had no problem. You have to be flexible enough to try whats available.

Apart from yummy veggie local food at most restaurants, there is an ISKCON restaurant in Cusco (side lane of main square), run by Hare Krishna mission and they have some yummy food too!!
