Ideal medication

Take Diamox . In the US, Diamox is a medication used to treat glaucoma; however, it can also treat altitude sickness.

It is necessary to take it 24 hours before arriving in Cusco, (after consulting your doctor ) however, a side effect of the drug is that you probably have to urinate more often. It is not very practical when you are traveling.

Altitude Training Program Details

First, our guide will give you a small talk about what are the first steps to follow, to start it is highly recommended to bring enough water because it will be the only thing that can help us directly in this acclimatization process.
Our guide will initiate the walk with the group and the first thing will be to get the pace of the walk and the rhythm of breathing of all of Our clients, and we will help you with some breathing techniques because it is very important the process of oxygenation of the body over 3000 meters or 10000 feets above sea level.
After a few minutes, our instructors will teach Us how to consume the water that we carry because it is not equal to taking 3 liters of water in 2 hours, to drink 3 liters of water in 7 hours that is very important so, as well as taking the rhythm of the walk will also learn to consume the water to give better benefit to the body because the water also contains oxygen that should be used appropriately for greater venality.
We will take small breaks to guide our visitors to know how to use the oxygen tank for emergencies since it could occur at any time during Your vacations.
During this preparation we will guide you to use the famous coca leaf , and the coca tee, muña tee or mint and other natural medicines that our region has for this altitude sickness. (local medicine)
We will apply alocal medicine that we have, which is very efficient for this height problem which we call AGUA DE FLORIDA (Aromatic Flowers Infusion)that is the ferment of many flowers, aromatic orchids, and medicinal herbs in alcohol which should only be aspired and retain the aroma, this works almost instantaneously since it is now widely used by tourist guides and some visitors who already know of its existence.
We will guide each of our clients how to ascend in the case of steps such as the Inca Trail and how to descend in steps as well as very steep descents and climbs to keep the knees very stable as they have the most frequent problem that arise on the trekking routes. (very important to use trekking poles) .
Each of the participants will learn to use the trekking poles . Especially for those preparing for long walks like the 4 day Inca trail, Salkantay Trek, Lares Trek, Chokequirao trek and others
Our clients will be oriented to how to use a trekking backpack and all the benefits that this could give if you know how to use it properly this point is very important for those who choose to make the trekking routes for more than 2 days.
