Cuzco (Cusco) is the capital of the province of the same name, located on the Andes plateau of central Peru, close to the Urubamba Valley. The approximate population of the city is around 250 thousand. Cuzco, which was the capital of the Inca Kingdom in the 13th and 16th centuries, and was therefore selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, has a spiritual atmosphere, ruins of the Inca Kingdom, churches, architecture bearing the traces of Spanish colonialism, narrow and cobblestone streets, It has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, with its way to Machu Picchu, which is considered one of its wonders. An average of 2 million tourists visit Cuzco every year. When the city, which is located at an altitude of 3,400 meters from the sea, is reached by air, it is possible to experience some effects on the body due to altitude. Since it becomes difficult to breathe and move, it is necessary to stay away from strenuous activities, not drink alcohol, not consume heavy meals, and drink plenty of water on the first day. It is beneficial for those who suffer from altitude sickness to have oxygen spray and necessary medications with them. The solution of the local people to this problem is to drink tea brewed from the Coco leaf or to chew the Coco leaf without swallowing it. Coco leaf is known to prevent and alleviate the discomfort that may occur due to altitude. Almost every hotel in Cuzco welcomes its guests by offering Coco tea. Due to the fact that the region is quite touristic, there are also oxygen cylinders for tourists in almost every hotel and restaurant.
