Finding It Hard
to Adjust to Cusco’s Altitude?
At approximately 3,400 metres (11,000 feet) above sea level, Cusco presents a significant change in altitude for many visitors. Lower oxygen availability can affect how you feel during your first few days, making it important to allow time for your body to acclimatise before heading out on your Andean adventures.
Arriving in Cusco?
Recharge after a long journey in one of our mild hyperbaric oxygen chambers. Take time to relax, recover from travel fatigue and jet lag, and support your body’s adjustment to Cusco’s high altitude.
Preparing for a trek?
Getting ready for the Inca Trail or Salkantay Trek? A session in our mild hyperbaric oxygen chamber is a chance to rest, recharge and give your body extra support as you prepare for the demands of trekking at altitude.
