Motociclista relata su odisea con el mal de altura en los Andes peruanos

Un motociclista que realizaba un tour en una BMW por Perú describió su lucha contra un severo mal de altura y alucinaciones tras no aclimatarse adecuadamente a las elevadas altitudes.

El viajero enfermó después de volar desde el nivel del mar hasta los 4.000 metros y ascender aún más sin tomar medicación para la altitud. Los síntomas incluyeron sudoración, alucinaciones y desorientación durante el regreso de Machu Picchu, lo que resultó en un traslado en Jeep de vuelta a Cuzco, donde un médico le recetó un tratamiento. La motocicleta, una BMW F 750 GS, guió al conductor de manera segura durante dos días y medio siguiendo la luz trasera de otra moto hasta su recuperación.
