Wellness Tips
Make the most of your wellness experience.
Acclimatize before any wellness treatments - altitude affects your body significantly, so rest 24-48 hours after arriving in La Paz before spa visits
Coca leaf tea (mate de coca) is the traditional Andean remedy for altitude sickness and is freely available - drink 2-3 cups per day at high altitude
Hydration is critical at altitude - drink 3-4 liters of water daily and avoid alcohol for the first 48 hours
Many La Paz spas offer altitude-specific treatments with oxygen therapy - particularly beneficial during the first days
Book spa treatments 24 hours in advance in La Paz's luxury hotels, especially during peak June-August tourist season
