Cuzco, Peru Chronicles I

First and foremost, be prepared for the altitude. 11,000 feet is nothing to play with, so what can you do??

Coca leaves are offered in the airport for a reason: partake of them liberally people!

Chew don’t swallow. Hold the leaves in the pocket of your jaw and let the juices take that headache right away.

*One caveat, your tongue and or throat might get a little numb. But it’s better than the headache, nausea, and disorienting effects of altitude sickness.

Coca tea is available for purchase and easy to get

Coca lozenges are also available

Other ways to combat altitude sickness:

Stay hydrated, drink as much as possible

Eat small meals full of protein and carbs

Rest for the first day, lay down before heading out to explore this wonderful city so steeped in culture and history!!

Don’t get sick!!! Coca leaves in Tea, to chew, or in lozenges works wonders! 11,000 feet is no joke coming from below sea level in New Orleans.
