Altitude in Cusco.
Cusco is located at about 3300 meters above sea level, that is why people traveling from lower levels suffer from altitude sickness “Soroche”, this is caused because the higher altitude contains less oxygen than those who are at sea level, so the body works harder to get the oxygen it needs, which is why for long walks is recommended at least two days in Cusco to start.
