Find low-impact movement modalities, such as <b>walking<\/b> or <b>running<\/b>, or join a <b>small hike<\/b> in your area. <b>Suspend alcohol<\/b> intake and drink plenty of water or beverages infused with <b>electrolytes<\/b>, preferably from natural sources, like coconut water. Needless to say, you need to stay <strong>well-rested<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you need extra support in avoiding, or recuperating from, altitude sickness, there is an array of <b>medications<\/b> to choose from. Keep in mind it\u2019s your personal <b>physician<\/b> who ought to confirm the best option and dosage. Once you check with them, you can consider whether to bring the medicine with you on your trip and keep some in your <b>backpack<\/b> during hikes. You can always buy in any pharmacy in Quito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind: these <strong>preparations should continue during your journey<\/strong>, from the start until you return home. Even <strong>afterward<\/strong>, you should go slowly, as it <strong>takes a few days<\/strong> for your body <strong>to adjust<\/strong> to the change in altitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipped for Adventure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a detailed <a title=\"Ecuador Packing List: Exploring the Andes, Amazon, and Coastal Wonders\" href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/blog\/ecuador\/ecuador-packing-list\/\" rel=\"noopener\">packing guide<\/a> for this beautiful country, with a dedicated section for each region featuring <b>comprehensive lists<\/b>.
