Question
How can I avoid altitude sickness?
Answer
Being that Cusco has an altitude of 11,200 feet, some visitors experience mild symptoms of altitude sickness or "soroche". These symptoms can include headache, nausea, and dizziness. Before your travel and on the arrival day itself drink plenty of water and avoid alcoholic beverages. With this in mind please arrive a day before the New Years Eve Welcome Party if possible.
