Some of us didn't make it to Taquille. For altitude effects the best treatment is coca tea. It's legal (almost mandatory) in Peru and, made from unprocessed coca leaves, is entirely different from its antisocial cousin. Not the nicest taste but almost magical in its ability to combat altitude sickness.
