Everyone keeps warning me about the altitude at Machu Pichu. So, here is some research I did today. Val and I climbed Cotapaxi Volcano in Ecuador. We made it to the Refuge and were surrounded in the ladies bathroom with the sounds of puking. We, I proudly say, did not puke!
Cotapaxi Refugio (for proof), note we are not puking! |
So,
Quito, Ecuador 2850 m above sea level
Cotapaxi Refugio: 4810 m
Puno: 3827 m
Cusco: 3399 m
Machu Pichu: 2430 m
I think we will be fine.
But I do think it is time for some vaccinations from my travel nurse. So, I will ask.
