Cusco, ubicado a 3,399 metros sobre el nivel del mar<\/strong>, es un destino impresionante, pero la altitud puede afectar a los viajeros que no est\u00e1n acostumbrados. El soroche<\/strong> o mal de altura es com\u00fan y puede provocar dolor de cabeza, n\u00e1useas, mareos y fatiga. Para disfrutar al m\u00e1ximo tu viaje sin contratiempos, aqu\u00ed te damos consejos clave para aclimatarte y minimizar sus efectos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Llega con tiempo y descansa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Si tu itinerario lo permite, dedica el primer d\u00eda a descansar<\/strong> y realizar actividades ligeras. No intentes subir escaleras o hacer caminatas exigentes apenas llegues. Permite que tu cuerpo se adapte poco a poco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mantente hidratado<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beber mucha agua<\/strong> es fundamental, ya que la altura puede causar deshidrataci\u00f3n. Evita el alcohol y la cafe\u00edna durante las primeras 24 horas, ya que pueden agravar los s\u00edntomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Infusiones de hojas de coca y otros remedios naturales<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Las hojas de coca son utilizadas desde tiempos incaicos para combatir el soroche. Puedes masticarlas o tomar infusiones<\/strong> en hoteles y restaurantes locales. Tambi\u00e9n hay otras opciones como el mate de mu\u00f1a<\/strong>, que ayuda con la digesti\u00f3n y la respiraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Come ligero y en porciones peque\u00f1as<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

El sistema digestivo trabaja m\u00e1s lento en la altura. Opta por comidas livianas<\/strong> como sopas, frutas y verduras en lugar de platos muy grasosos o pesados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Considera el uso de medicamentos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Si eres propenso al mal de altura o quieres prevenirlo, consulta con tu m\u00e9dico sobre medicamentos como Acetazolamida (Diamox)<\/strong>, que ayuda a acelerar la aclimataci\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n hay pastillas naturales como el soroche pills<\/strong>, que se venden en farmacias locales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Respira profundo y mu\u00e9vete con calma<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

El aire en Cusco tiene menos ox\u00edgeno, por lo que es importante respirar profundo<\/strong> y caminar lentamente. Si sientes falta de aire, detente y descansa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Acost\u00fambrate progresivamente a la altitud<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Si tienes tiempo, una buena opci\u00f3n es aclimatarte en destinos intermedios antes de llegar a Cusco, como Arequipa (2,335 m) o el Valle Sagrado (2,800 m)<\/strong>, donde la altura es m\u00e1s baja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Usa ox\u00edgeno si es necesario<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Muchos hoteles y cl\u00ednicas en Cusco ofrecen ox\u00edgeno suplementario<\/strong> en caso de que los s\u00edntomas sean fuertes. Tambi\u00e9n hay botellas de ox\u00edgeno port\u00e1tiles disponibles en farmacias y aeropuertos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
