With an altitude of 2 850 mt \/ 9 350,4 ft above sea level, Quito is lower only than La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, which is located at 3 650 mt \/ 1 1976 ft above sea level.<\/span><br \/>\n<i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That is awesome! You may think. And you\u2019re right, the views from up there are stunning!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But the altitude can also cause some headaches &#8211; literally! &#8211; as the higher up you are, the less oxygen goes to your lungs with every breath. But hey, don\u2019t worry! You will probably experience nothing worse than some shortness of breath, though a few people also suffer headaches, dizziness, and nausea. In rare cases, a brief visit to the doctor might be necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More commonly, Quito Ecuador\u2019s altitude causes sunburn. Don\u2019t forget, it\u2019s located right on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/the-middle-of-the-world\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">equator!<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Make sure you always have a decent supply of good sunblock during your visit to the capital!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to deal with altitude sickness?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember, less oxygen in your lungs is what gives you altitude sickness, or \u201csoroche\u201d (the Ecuadorian slang for altitude sickness). So the best way to deal with it is to avoid getting out of breath!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We can share with you the following methods for dealing with altitude sickness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rest, rest as much as you can<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Especially if you just got out of a plane after a wonderful holiday at sea level! When you get out of an airplane in Quito you can instantly feel the lack of oxygen and you may experience some shortness of breath. So, just right there, at that moment, slow down! Walk slower, breathe slower and more deeply, and take as many breaks as you need while walking around the city. This also means, try to avoid overexerting yourself or exercising strenuously &#8211; at least at the start of your journey in this city.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Take as many days as you need to acclimatize to Quito<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The acclimatization period is different for everyone. Some people need a couple of days, some need a week, and others maybe a little more than that. It doesn\u2019t really matter how long it takes, just give your body the necessary time to adjust to the new altitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>If you\u2019re a smoker, consider taking a break from the cigarettes during your time in Quito<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take this piece of advice from a former smoker! If breathing at altitude can be an issue for non-smokers, imagine adding the smoking habit to the lack of oxygen. Not a good feeling my friends!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Drink, drink, drink<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And NO, I am not talking about beers! The<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> soroche<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can cause dehydration sometimes, so drink as much water as you can. If you\u2019re feeling nauseous, the best thing to do is mix some lemonade with ginger, this beverage will help you to feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Carbs are welcome<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yep! You read correctly. Another way to fight altitude sickness is by enjoying a diet rich in carbs. I\u2019m not talking about endless chips! The best strategy is to eat some light meals that contain carbs and add plenty of fruit and green vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Medication<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is a medication that helps your body increase oxygen perfusion and fight the symptoms of altitude sickness. It\u2019s available in Ecuadorian pharmacies under the name of Diamox or Glaucomed. I also recommend keeping some mild pain relievers handy, in case of headaches. It\u2019s best to avoid sleeping pills in Quito, as they tend to reduce your breathing rhythm. Don\u2019t forget to consult with your doctor about these medicines before traveling to Quito.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21166 size-full\" title=\"quito ecuador altitude\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/quito-nature-15-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"How to deal with altitude sickness?\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>Our tips and recommendations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I can add the following additional tips for dealing with the Quito Ecuador altitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sleep at a lower altitude location before arriving in Quito<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Soroche<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is the reaction of your body to a sudden change of altitude in a short space of time, so the best thing you can do is give your body some time to adjust gradually. Instead of going straight from sea level to Quito, consider visiting some mid-altitude cities in between. This is where <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/why-wander-with-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wanderbus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and its \u201chop on-hop off\u201d system is your best option! Traveling with us offers you the chance to gradually work your way up to the higher altitudes via some marvelous destinations! Just think about how convenient our system is if you are planning on visiting Ecuador\u2019s capital city!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Coca leaves<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These famous leaves are very popular in the Andean highlands because of their ability to alleviate the symptoms of altitude sickness, among other kinds of discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Bolivia, you can easily find coca leaves in the market and will see many people chewing them as they go about their day, but in Quito, they are harder to find. Instead, you could try more commonly available products such as coca tea or coca candies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Don\u2019t go higher!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At least until your body has had enough time to get used to the altitude! If your plan is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wander-destination-cotopaxi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">climbing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the Andean mountains in Ecuador, Quito is the best place to acclimatize for a few days before moving on to even higher ground. And, if you\u2019ve been in Quito for over a week and still feel the effects of<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> soroche<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, we recommend you move to a lower altitude location instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sunblock<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The equator + altitude + long exposure = serious sunburn!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please don\u2019t forget to put on a decent amount of sunblock, and reapply as many times as necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pay a visit to the doctor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is not always necessary, at least not for everyone. But keep in mind that if you have a health condition such as diabetes, cardiorespiratory conditions, lung problems, hypertension, obesity or renal insufficiency, the probability of getting severe altitude sickness is higher. If you suffer from one of these conditions, it\u2019s best to see your doctor before your trip to Quito.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Think one step ahead<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some Andean people like to recommend: \u201cdrink before getting thirsty, eat before getting hungry, warm up before getting cold, and take some rest before getting exhausted\u201d. This is maybe the best piece of advice for your trip to Quito, since the brain works a bit more slowly at high altitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Don\u2019t stress and enjoy it<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Soroche<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can happen sometimes, but don\u2019t let it ruin your trip!
