Diamox I have altitude sickness tablets, but wondering if and how long I should take them for, as we’re trying to ascend slowly. Our schedule is: - 1 night Lima - 2 nights Arequipa - 3 nights Yanque (Colca Canyon) - 2 nights Andean Explorer (via Puno) - 1 night Cusco - 3 nights Sacred Valley - 1 night Cusco Does it sound reasonable to start in Arequipa and perhaps stop taking them when we arrive in the Sacred Valley? Or are we ascending slowly enough that we shouldn’t need them? A friend of mine had bad side effects on them, so keen to minimise usage. Malaria My doctor prescribed enough malaria tablets for our entire trip + 4 weeks, however I don’t think we’ll need them until we arrive in Iquitos? From What I can tell, we shouldn’t need them at altitude. Is this correct? I know we’ll need them for the Iquitos segment of our trip, but don’t want to take them for the above section of our itinerary if they’re not required. Thanks for your time!
