When visiting an area that is located high in the mountains, like Machu Picchu, travelers sometimes forget the impact that ascending to new heights can have on their bodies. I found this article very appealing and wanted to share it for anyone who desires to leave the shores of the beaches and visit the many mountain ranges located throughout the world. Winter is also a time that beckons to skiers and snowboarders alike who come from sea level cities and forget that their bodies are working overtime in higher elevations. https://www.oyster.com/articles/how-to-prevent-altitude-sickness-while-traveling/
Now’s the time to prepare for those mountainous climbs remembering that the views from the top are really worth the effort. Happy climbing!
