PRDATR Report post Posted June 12 I'll talk to my sister. She goes every year with a team of doctors to bring aid to different indigenous tribes. I know last year she went to Machu Pichu. Her hubby got a serious case of altitude sickness and had to be hospitalized while they were there and couldn't make the climb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeardownAZ Report post Posted June 19 Machu Pichu is amazing. I got mild altitude sickness(felt like a lingering hangover) in Cusco as it is at 11k but Machu Pichu is actually lower then Cusco. My father in law set up the guided tour. Either way, I’m sure you’ll find one and will love it. Peru is awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We started in Bolivia at higher altitude (oxygen tanks and coca tea in the hotel kept me from getting too sick from altitude) then worked our way down in elevation. Pretty acclimated when we got to Cusco and Machu Pichu. Amazing trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maximus Report post Posted June 20 I’m planning on staying in Cusco 3 days before the trek but going to do some hiking in flagstaff few months prior to the trip, probably will do Humphrey’s a couple of times and some more hikes around 9k hopefully don’t get altitude sickness, I have been in touch with a couple of companies thanks to everyone for the tips. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
