It looks absolutely amazing! I also drank coca tea when I was in Peru, but unfortunately it didn’t help against the altitude sickness. I had to take tablets….that gave me a nose bleed. Still, I loved the Peruvian altiplano.

In reply to Boarding Call. It was okay without the pills :)

this is just gorgeous. I love hiking but I’ve never done a hike where you have to acclimatize – did you take any pills to help you adjust, or was it ok?

These are Cordillera Blanca Mountains… located in Peru, that’s why Mountains of Peru…:D

I hear you with that altitude sickness, and can be a buzz kill. But those views look totally worth it! My sweetie and I struggled with the altitude on our Salar De Uyuni 4 day Jeep trek… but it was so worth it that we even want to do it again sometime!

Breathtaking views. Hiking for more than 3 hours with that view, is definitely worth it. Why is it called Mountains of Peru?

What amazing views. I have been hot with altitude sickness too. Once you get it, there’s not much you can do. Happy that you had a great adventure and saw an amazing corner of the world.
