Rest on arrival and drink plenty of water, and you shouldn’t find the altitude a problem in Ecuador. Quito is the second-highest capital city in the world so it’s not unusual to feel fatigued, have a headache, or be a little short of breath on arrival, but your body will acclimatize quickly if you take it easy for your first few days.
Our specialists will plan your trip so the increase in altitude is gradual, and listen to your body, as altitude affects everyone differently. If you still feel uncomfortable after a few days, see a doctor, or descend to lower altitudes.
