Secondly, don\u2019t be scared about <strong>altitude sickness<\/strong>, there\u2019s no way to cancel a wonderful trip just because of altitude. In our experience as travel advisers, we can guarantee you to have a memorable trip if you follow these <strong>simple<\/strong> recommendations <strong>to prevent altitude sickness.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_306\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-306\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\" Machu\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-306 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.machupicchu-explorer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sungate-machupicchu.jpg\" alt=\"Sun gate Machu Picchu\" width=\"730\" height=\"410\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By following our tips, you will enjoy a wonderful trip to Machu Picchu. (View from the Sun Gate)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, let\u2019s understand what the \u201caltitude sickness\u201d is. At high elevations (over 2400 m\/8000 ft) there\u2019s less pressure in the air which causes it to be thinner and therefore, the lack of oxygen. So the higher we go, the less oxygen available our bodies receive. \u00a0Also, Cusco is a highland city (11200 ft\/3400m) where certainly you have to be careful, however, Machu Picchu isn&#8217;t really very high (2400m\/7800 ft), so keep in mind that if you can acclimatize in Cusco, then<strong> visiting Machu Picchu will be a piece of cake<\/strong>!<br \/>\n<strong>The symptoms<\/strong> that we can have by experiencing the high altitude sickness are:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty breathing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note that every human body reacts differently, in our daily work, we have seen that most of the people experience the symptoms for a very short period as the body acclimatizes. Certainly, people who often smoke or have lung diseases <strong>should visit their doctor<\/strong> and see which treatment is the most appropriate for them. That&#8217;s why\u00a0we share our <strong>best tips for avoiding the altitude sickness<\/strong> during your trip in Peru.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #f7505a;\">Tips to avoid altitude sickness in Cusco<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">On your arrival date, try to eat very lightly, avoid meats and other heavy meals. Instead, have some bread, fruit or cookies.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Avoid smoking, since this might not let you breathe properly.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Drink plenty of water since the altitude dehydrates.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Upon your arrival try to rest for a while so your body can get used to the altitude.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have a coca tea (which is a hot infusion offered by most of the hotels) and avoid doing physical efforts.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Take easy and walk slowly, don\u2019t try to hike or run.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Get acclimatized before trekking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_307\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-307\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-307 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.machupicchu-explorer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/coca-tea-coca-infusion.jpg\" alt=\"Coca tea-Coca infusion\" width=\"730\" height=\"410\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-307\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Coca tea will be your best friend in Cusco.

This is a hot drink made with <strong>Coca leaves<\/strong> which have great properties that allow your body to get used to the altitude quickly. It doesn&#8217;t really have a distinctive taste but helps a lot. On the other hand, <strong>try to avoid drinking it at night<\/strong> since you might not be able to sleep properly. Also, if you\u2019re planning to stay in a 3, 4 or 5-star hotel, they will provide you free oxygen in case you need it. Most of them give 30-60 min of free oxygen upon your arrival.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Bonus<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a <strong>bonus<\/strong>, we present you a good ally for fighting the altitude sickness.
