Un motard raconte son calvaire lié au mal des montagnes dans les Andes péruviennes

Un motard participant à un circuit en moto BMW à travers le Pérou a décrit son combat contre un sévère mal des montagnes et des hallucinations après avoir échoué à s'acclimater aux hautes altitudes.

Le voyageur est tombé malade après avoir volé du niveau de la mer jusqu'à 4 000 mètres d'altitude, puis s'être aventuré plus haut encore sans prendre de médicament contre l'altitude. Ses symptômes comprenaient des sueurs, des hallucinations et une désorientation lors du retour de Machu Picchu, ce qui a nécessité un trajet en Jeep jusqu'à Cuzco où un médecin lui a prescrit un traitement. Sa moto, une BMW F 750 GS, a guidé le conducteur en toute sécurité pendant deux jours et demi en suivant le feu arrière d'une autre moto jusqu'à son rétablissement.
