It is highly recommended that visitors with cardiac problems have a check-up prior to their trip.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid alcohol. Abstain from drinking alcohol on the first day in Cusco. A night without partying in this town can be hard, but it is important to remember that walks are long and demanding, especially if you plan to hike the Inca Trail.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take things easy. It is advisable to take it really easy on the first day.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rest the first few hours to help the body acclimatize to the altitude, and take deep breaths every now and then.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t Overexert Yourself. It takes time for your body to acclimate to the low levels of oxygen at such high elevations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay hydrated. The body gets dehydrated quickly in high altitudes. It is recommended you drink lots of water before and during your trip to Cusco.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A home remedy is to drink Coca Tea. Just remember coca is a mild stimulant so don\u2019t go over the top and drink cup loads.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3505230926454944\" data-ad-slot=\"3247790964\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5215\" style=\"width: 875px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5215\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inkayniperutours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Pallay-Poncho.webp\" alt=\"Monta\u00f1a Pallay Punchu junto a la laguna Langui - Inkayni Peru Tours\" width=\"865\" height=\"400\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><b><i>Pallay Punchu Mountain next to Langui Lagoon- Inkayni Peru Tours<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/div>\n<h3><b>Symptoms of Altitude Sickness:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headache<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dizziness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nausea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue and loss of energy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortness of breath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problems with sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of appetite<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are planning on going to <\/span><b>Pallay Poncho Mountain,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we recommend taking into consideration the tips listed above.
