Know before you go:
altitude sickness is no joke
My husband and I suffered nasty gastrointestinal upset due to altitude sickness at the higher
elevations. We knew of its existence but did not
heed warnings because we are both in great
shape and perfect health. Learn from our mistake!
* Altitude sickness strikes randomly, causing
everything from headaches to stomach issues.
* It can likely be avoided with prophylactic
measures so a day or two before you go, don't
drink alcohol, get plenty of rest, and drink a lot
of water.
* Once you arrive at higher elevations don't
drink alcohol or caffeine, drink plenty of water,
and take it easy, giving your body time to
adjust.
* Travel with a decent supply of OTC remedies for headaches and stomach upset so you'll
be prepared if you do succumb a bit.
* Don't let fear stop you from going to Peru.
Go and enjoy the splendor.
Last stop was Lake Titicaca, the home to the Uros indigenous people and their floating islands. You read that right.
These people "weave" islands out of the reeds that grow in
the lake and they live in reed huts with no plumbing and
minimal electricity from solar panels. (They use the small
amount of power for televisions and light bulbs.) They make
their living from fishing, weaving, and tourism. I've never seen
anything quite as fascinating as these islands and the people
who inhabit them.
