Altitude in Peru
Altitude in Peru
If you do not have experience with higher altitudes above 3,500m (12,000 ft), don't
underestimate it! Collapses of unacclimatized tourists are not
unusual. If coming from sea level,
stay at medium height ca. 3,000 m (10,000 ft) for at least one week. Then, altitudes
of around 4,500 m (15,000 ft) should not be a risk, although you still will
strongly feel the height.
