At ReEnergize Cusco, our mission is simple: to help every traveler feel their best while exploring Cusco. That’s why we created the city’s #1 wellness center—designed specifically to address the three most common issues visitors face:
Altitude sickness
Jet lag
Sore muscles after treks or tours
Whether you’re adjusting to high altitude, recovering from a long flight, or nursing post-trek pain, our targeted therapies and carefully designed combos can help you recover faster, feel reenergized, and enjoy every moment of your trip.

🏔️ Altitude Sickness Relief in Cusco
Altitude sickness is the first and often most serious obstacle people encounter when arriving in Cusco. It can strike immediately after stepping off the plane, after a pisco sour, or during your first tour.
For some, it’s mild—just a little breathlessness. But for others, it can involve:
Headaches
Sleepless nights
Loss of appetite
Nausea or vomiting
In severe cases, even fainting or a visit to a clinic
This is especially worrying for those who have non-refundable tours and treks booked, such as Machu Picchu or Rainbow Mountain.
After hearing too many stories of tourists spending hours in clinics or hospitals to receive oxygen therapy—often leaving with a hefty bill—we decided to offer a comfortable, safe, and more accessible alternative.

✅ Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at ReEnergize Cusco
We imported a mild hyperbaric chamber to help combat the effects of altitude sickness naturally.
Simply lie down inside the chamber, allow it to pressurize to 1.3 ATA, and relax.
For the next 60 minutes, your red blood cells and plasma absorb oxygen more efficiently, restoring your oxygen levels.
Most clients report:
Decreased headaches
Improved breathing
Increased energy and calmness
✈️ Jet Lag Recovery for Travelers to Cusco
Travelers from North America, Europe, and beyond often arrive in Cusco jet-lagged, sleep-deprived, and disoriented—thanks to overnight flights and a drastic altitude jump.
We call this the “triple whammy”:
Long-haul flight
Lack of sleep
Sudden altitude change
Without intervention, your first few days in Cusco can be a foggy blur—wasting precious time.
✅ Jet Lag Combo: Float + Massage
Our recommended treatment for jet lag is the Jet Lag Combo, which includes:
A 60-minute float session to deeply relax the nervous system
A 60-minute personalized massage to reset your body and reduce physical fatigue
Together, they help:
Reset your circadian rhythm
Improve sleep quality
Boost recovery from travel exhaustion

🦵 Post-Trek Muscle Recovery & Massage in Cusco
Trekking to Machu Picchu or navigating the endless stairs of Cusco takes a toll on your body. Even the most seasoned hikers often underestimate how much altitude affects muscle recovery.
Many of our clients tell us:
“I trained for the trek, but nothing prepared me for the soreness the day after Machu Picchu!"
Altitude reduces oxygen delivery to your muscles, which slows recovery and leads to more soreness and stiffness—especially in the legs, hips, shoulders, and lower back.
✅ Pre & Post-Trek Massage Therapy
Massage has been our specialty since we started Cusco Therapeutic Massage in 2015. We’ve spent years refining our pre- and post-trek massage combos to target:
Muscle fatigue
Joint stiffness
Trek-specific aches and pains
Both Gregory and I are professionally trained massage therapists, which is still rare in Cusco. Whether you’re looking for deep tissue work or a relaxing session, we tailor every treatment to your body’s specific needs.
🌿 Our Wellness Combos
We’ve carefully created a series of wellness combos to provide full-body recovery through integrated therapies:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Massage therapy
Floatation therapy
Whether you need to:
Relieve altitude symptoms
Beat jet lag
Recover from trekking
Or simply treat yourself to deep relaxation…
We have a combo designed for you.
