RE: Ollantaytambo, Cusco, Peru - Part 3
Very exciting! I loved my trip to Peru. I look forward to Aguas Calientes!
Have you been chewing any coca leaves to help with the altitude? Make sure to use the lime ("lipta" I think) to turn the salts alkaline.
Cheers,
Thanks @dcj , I became quite a fan of the coca leaf :) Whilst at those altitudes, I constantly had a folded wad of coca leaves jammed up between my upper lip and teeth. That way, it just mixes with your saliva and gives you a nice steady dose :) when the leaves get too dry, you just change them :)
Peace.
