Overview
Cusco’s altitude and dry climate are harder on skin than most travelers expect — sun exposure is stronger, humidity is lower, and days spent outdoors sightseeing or trekking leave skin dehydrated and dulled faster than it would at sea level. This facial treatment is built around that specific problem: cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating the skin to remove impurities and counter the dryness that Cusco’s climate causes, leaving your face refreshed rather than depleted after days of sun and altitude.
What's Included in Your Session
- Masks made of natural products. Used to draw out impurities and address the dehydration common at this altitude.
- Moisturizing cream. Applied to restore hydration lost to Cusco’s dry climate and sun exposure.
Price
- 45 Min - 18.00 USD
Benefits for Travelers in Cusco
- Specifically addresses the skin dehydration caused by high altitude, strong sun, and low humidity — more pronounced here than in most travel destinations.
- Removes impurities built up from a day of sightseeing, dust, and sun exposure around the historic center.
- Leaves skin visibly refreshed, useful before an evening out or ahead of photos at places like Machu Picchu or Rainbow Mountain.
- A good complement to a body massage, rather than a replacement — many clients combine both during the same visit.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
Facial Treatment is the right choice if it’s specifically your skin — not your muscles — that needs attention after days in Cusco’s sun and dry air. If you’re looking for muscle relaxation or recovery, this treatment won’t address that; pair it with Gentle Relaxing Massage or Swedish Massage for a fuller session covering both skin and body.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my skin feel different in Cusco compared to other places I've traveled?
Cusco’s high altitude means stronger UV exposure and lower humidity, both of which dry out skin faster than most travelers are used to — this treatment is designed specifically around that.
Is this facial suitable for sensitive skin?
The treatment uses natural products, but if you have specific skin sensitivities or allergies, let your therapist know before the session so they can adjust the products used.
Should I book a facial before or after trekking?
Either works, though many travelers prefer booking it after a trek, when sun exposure and dehydration are at their highest, or before returning home.
Can I combine a facial with a body massage in the same visit?
Yes, many clients pair this treatment with a Swedish or Gentle Relaxing Massage during the same appointment for a fuller session.
How long does the facial treatment take?
The session runs 45 minutes, covering cleansing, exfoliation, mask application, and hydration.
