Going Up
En route to see the majestic Machu-Picchu we flew into Cusco, Peru and at an elevation of 11,200 feet it feels as if we have yet to land. Just walking up a flight of stairs will get you winded — even if you’re in shape. At breakfast in the morning they serve tea made from coco leaves to help with the altitude sickness and oxygen deprivation.
