Question Has anyone had breathing problems on their Machu Picchu trip? The reason I'm asking is that many years ago(in my 20's) when we were visiting Leadville CO (10,000') I experienced heavy tiredness walking around ,as well also had nosebleeds(never before or since). More recently,after flying into Quito (9,200'),I thought I would pass out. Could only walk a few steps then had to rest,God,I would have sold my soul for a whiff of O2.Upon resting awhile was half ok. Upon reaching sea level ,was fine.

Some one told me that there was oxygen in the bedrooms and buses.Is this true?

Have a gut feeling that this will be a miss for us (right up there with white water rafting, bungee jumping and parachuting)

So if anyone has had problems and over came them I would love to hear. Thanks,
