Seeing the Andes was one of the reasons I chose to travel to Peru, but being at high altitudes also presents a lot of problems for those who, like myself and most Americans, who aren't accustomed to living in places where the oxygen in the air is thin. Heading to high-altitude places, such as Cusco, without taking altitude meds and/or taking a day or two to rest and adjust to the altitude, can lead to severe reactions such as vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea. Therefore, it's important to talk to a doctor about getting altitude medication beforehand. Look at the bright side, though -- when you have trouble walking uphill, you can always blame it on the altitude!
