Putre<\/strong> is characterized by a dry climate with extreme changes in temperature during day and night. Most days are sunny. This kind of climate is typical for the Altiplano region<\/strong>. As Putre is located at an altitude of 3.500m above sea level, it is important to remember that the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature. Please remember this as you visit the beautiful destinations in the Andes. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Symptoms<\/b><\/span><\/p>

Also known as altitude sickness (\u201cpuna\u201d), Soroche is basically the consequence of a lack of oxygen. It usually happens to people that did not take time to acclimatize and quickly ascend above 2.000m above sea level in 1 or 2 days. Travelers who drive from the coast directly to the Lago Chungara<\/strong> (4.500m above sea level) often suffer from Soroche. Symptoms start to occur within 48 hours and include headaches, nauseas, vomiting, lack of appetite, sensation of suffocation, vertigo, concentration issues and even pulmonary edema<\/span><\/p>

Prevention<\/b><\/span><\/p>

The best way to avoid altitude sickness is to assure a gradual ascent. If you take time to acclimatize, for example in Putre<\/strong>, the likeliness to suffer from Soroche is much lower. It is important to start only slowly with activities in Putre \u2013 the first day is preferably a rest day with light food and some mate tea, and on the second day easy walks and first excursions can be organized. There is a medicine for Soroche calles Sorojchi Pills (sold primarily in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador). <\/span><\/p>

Treatment<\/b><\/span><\/p>

If despite preventive measures you suffer from Soroche, it is important to drink a lot of water. Paracetamol can help against the headache, but you should always consult with a doctor and observe possible side effects. <\/span><\/p>

Do not wait until your Soroche gets worse, ask for oxygen right away. You can find supplies at the local doctors office in Putre. There, simply ask for oxygen at a flow of 2-3l\/min. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
