Peru is a country in South America, situated on the western side of that continent, facing the South Pacific Ocean and straddling part of the Andes mountain range that runs the length of South America. Peru sits at a high elevation of over 3,000m (9842.52ft). It is common for tourist to collapse when in Peru due to the lower amounts of oxygen available at the high altitudes. Your body can respond in a variety of ways; such as hyperventilation, increased urination, periodic breathing (the body forgetting to breathe for up to 15 seconds before breathing hard/rapidly), dehydration, fatigue, dizziness, loss of appetite, vomiting/nausea, confusion, difficulty walking, feeling ill, failing mental function, and/or decompression sickness.
Our group will need to stay hydrated and carry extra fluids with us on the trip. This could definitely impact the trip if one or more people get sick. If this sounds like something you would like to help us mitigate, please give. The money can be used for us to use local remedies thank you.
