The altitude did get to me in Cusco, but mostly because it made another illness hit harder. I came down with a GI bug and was very ill. On my last day in Cusco, I was starting to feel better — back to about 50% — but as soon as I arrived at sea level in Lima that afternoon, I was feeling back to 90%. It was almost instantaneous. The next day we in in Quito and I felt the altitude a bit there, too, but not so badly.
