I'd like to visit Peru, but I am quite concerned about the altitude sickness when we visit Machu Picchu and Cusco. I was told that we need prescription drug for that.
1. Is it really that bad for most people or does it affect only a certain people?
2. When you get sick, what do you do? Is there any help?
3. Is prescription drug really necessary?
4. Are fresh fruit and vegetables safe to eat?
By the way, we are interested in Mystical Peru. If anyone has done the Peru trip and have advice, I will appreciate it!
