- Wow! Peru exceeded my expectations. If it has been on your bucket list, I encourage you to visit this beautiful country; you won't regret it!
In this Vlog, I will share my experience visiting Cusco, Ollantaytambo, Aguascalientes, and Machu Picchu. Initially, I was going to do the Salkantay trek, but at 14,000 feet, I experienced H.A.C.E (High Altitude Cerebral Edema), and they had to evacuate me on an emergency horse.
For this reason, you must prepare yourself by exercising, buying the right equipment, and consulting with your doctor about possible medication that could help you adapt to the altitude regardless of your age or physique. Also, Coca tea helps. (According to my fellow travelers! Unfortunately, I couldn't drink it due to my job, so I don't know).

yyahoo,Alex, Bravo. fantastic , talk you later~
Before you go above 10k again without your 02 call me. I almost wish you were going with me next month back to Everest but the trail would never be the same!!! I'll see if I can discover a good Sherpa band for ya! God bless and keep the oily side down.
Wow! I can't believe you are going back. Extreamly happy for you Gary, I will definitely let you know next I hit the mountains.
So sorry you couldn't hike the Salkantay trek. I really appreciate you documenting and sharing your experience though. Do you have any idea what caused it for you? I really want to do the trek but of course that concerns me
Well the funny thing is that I was the fittest in the group and I was the only one who experienced altitude sickness 😅 but due to my job I wasn’t able to drink coca tea which helps you tremendously, everyone was drinking it every morning. I also didn’t gradually increase in altitude it was complete shock to my body I live in sea level flew to Cuzco at 11,000 and the started the trek at 14,000 in the 3rd day. You should let your body get used to the altitude before you continue to climb.
Hola, quería cuantos días antes de empezar el recorrido a Machu Pichu estuviste en Cusco? No tomaste té de coca? No tomaste precauciones para el mal de altura? Saludos!
Estuve en Cusco 3 días. No tome el té de coca por mi trabajo, nos hacen test de drogras y puede salir positivo. Todos con los que fui tomaron el té y pastillas estuvieron bien sin ningún problema. Yo fui el único con mal de altura.
