Altitude sickness is real. For the past week I was hoping the symptoms would go away in time for the climb. I was honest about how I felt to the tour leaders but there was a part of me that still thought I was psyching myself out, that it was just nerves and I would be fine once I started the trek. We started with a little jaunt to see a ruin and I immediately knew something was wrong. I pushed aside my embarrassment and pulled out of the hike. I've spent the last 24 hours in bed with a fever. But if you're going to be sick... be sick here. #listentoyourbody #matterovermind #mistyOllantaytambo #stillhappytobehere #sacredvalleysicko
