Cuzco

I originally bought some powdered coco leaves in the Belen Market in Iquitos so I asked the guy at my hotel (Kay Pacha) in Cuzco to heat me up some water since I was going to make coco tea and he brought me out the tea with coco leaves inside. Apparently it is a common remedy for altitude sickness since Cuzco is 10,000 feet above sea level.
