How do I handle altitude when arriving in Bogotá?

Bogotá sits at about 2,640 m (8,660 ft), so arriving from sea level you may feel headaches, fatigue, or breathlessness for 24–72 hours. Take it easy the first day, skip alcohol and heavy exercise, hydrate well, and eat light. Coca tea (agua de coca) is a popular local remedy for mild symptoms. Most people adjust within a couple of days.

The best thing is to stay well hydrated, rest the first day, avoid alcohol and heavy meals, and not do intense exercise during the first 24 hours. Most people adapt within 1 to 3 days.
