ALTITUDE SICKNESS: Altitude Sickness is caused by the response of the body when exposed to lower levels of oxygen in higher altitudes.
The first symptoms felt by a healthy non-smoker occur between 2500 – 3000 metres above sea level.
The incidence of this sickness varies according to each person. There are people that can tolerate high altitudes better than others. Another influencing factor is the speed of ascent on the mountain (the faster the speed of ascent, the higher the probability of altitude sickness). Some ethnic groups are more prone to altitude sickness than others.
Tips:
In order to avoid or reducing the effects of attitude sickness, it is necessary that the tourist acclimatize, not run, or do too much physical activity, at least for the first few days. In addition to this, it is also recommended the tourist sleep well the night before their arrival at high altitudes, eat light foods and avoid to***co and alcohol.

On arrival, it is essential to rest the first day. In some hotels, especially in Cusco (3400 m.a.s.l.), tourists are given hot coca-leaf beverages. These leaves aid digestion and help reduce, the symptoms of altitude sickness due to coca-leaf’s anti-inflammatory characteristics.

In general, the most important tips to follow are: stay hydrated, adopt a hyperglucidic diet and get plenty of physical rest. Do not drink alcohol.
