Altitude Sickness - Soroche, Cusco: 30 reviews and 11 photos

At 11,000 ft in elevation, altitude sickness can be a real problem. Remember not to over exert yourself until you have acclimitzed. I had no problem but did notice that I was huffing and puffing for breath up even the slighest incline.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
