The thing is, I've been to the same spots in CO many, many times before and never had a problem. I guess each time is different.

Travelers that have jobs that test for drugs have been bitten by this one before. TMYK It might be a good thing to point out that drinking “Coca Mate” will show up on drug tests as cocaine.

I experienced altitude sickness up at Cotopaxi in Ecuador. The world tilted on its side and everything in tunnel vision slo mo. Mate de Coca / Coca Tea is really effective. One thing I'd mention--it was hard to eat anything like pasta / rice or the other 'meals' we'd brought. At the time I needed just easy to 'get-down' calories like chocolate bars. Didn't have enough.
