On my trip in South America (Bolivia, Peru) I took anti altitude sickness medicine.
You start it a week before you get at the high altitude, worked perfect for me.
If you stay, like in Bolivia/Peru, at high altitude for some time you can stop taking medicine after a week, you're body is accustomed.
I suppost to be in Switserland by now, on a 6 month trip to Pamir and back to the Netherlands, hope to make the journey in 2021 now.
