Peru and Altitude sickness
Hi everyone,
I am planning to travel to Peru in July 2026 with my husband. We are very excited for this trip. My only concern at this time is the possibility of experiencing altitude sickness. I am somebody that sometimes does experience dizziness and am "sensitive" to pressure changes on an airplane.
I am wondering what I need to do to prepare my body for Peru/what medications I need to take prior or while in Peru, to limit my chances of experiencing Altitude sickness? We are planning to acclimatize in Cusco for a few days prior to doing MP. I am assuming I will get sick, but what can I do to ensure that I don't get too sick? I read that limiting alcohol helps, so I will not be drinking while there. I really want to enjoy my time there.
Thanks so much!
