Taking a trip to Peru and looking for the best things to do other than Machu Picchu? I highly recommend taking a hike up Rainbow Mountain. Even though I got hit with altitude sickness, this was still one of my favorite things to do while visiting Peru. The photos her do not do it justice. You have to see this for yourself
Trekking over 1680 feet in elevation to get to Rainbow Mountain is not for everyone, and can definitely cause altitude sickness. Even after taking a horse up a good part of the way, I got hit with a bad case of altitude sickness on Rainbow Mountain. Headache, nausea, dizziness, instability on my feet, cough, difficulty breathing, vertigo, dizziness, purple finger tips, uncontrollable emotions, and hallucinations are some of the symptoms of altitude sickness I experienced on Rainbow Mountain in Peru. I quit taking my prescription for Diamox (Acetylzolemide) 2 day prior because I had the uncomfortable side effects of severe tingling in my fingers and feet. I drank coca leaf tea that morning, but if I had continued taking my Diamox for prevention of altitude sickness, this may not have happened.

The best thing /treatment to do when symptoms of altitude sickness occur is to get to a lower elevation immediately and stay hydrated with water. Some of the guides carry a can of oxygen with them which would also be helpful. If you're at the top, don't spend much time there. Take a photo and leave. Altitude sickness is really no joke at all. Deaths occur each year from altitude sickness, and it doesn't only hit the weak or out of shape hikers. Even if you are in top physical condition, you can still get altitude sickness.

It took several hours for my body to feel better again, because even at the bottom of the mountain, I was still at 14,000 feet. (about the summit of Mount Whitney in California) And back in Cusco the elevation is 11,000 feet. I napped in the van while everyone ate lunch, drank plenty of fluids, and got back on my Diamox (acetylzolemide) as soon as I got back to my room.

It was a mistake for me to continue to the top after experiencing what I did, and I thank God that nothing bad happened to me. Please be careful if you decide to try a high altitude climb. Listen to your body and be smart. Making it to the top is not as important as your life.
#altitudesickness,

By the way, I wrote a book... my Memoir! It's about seeing the world through your heart, working hard, and following your dreams. It's about ending the cycle of poverty and abuse to become a physician. The title is, "WILDFLOWER, A TALE OF TRANSCENDENCE," and can be on Amazon, or you can request it at your favorite bookstore or local library.
