A few things to note <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A portion of this tour is at high altitude (approx. 4,300m\nabove sea level) which has a risk of causing altitude sickness.

One way to help\novercome this is to properly acclimatise and keep hydrated, eat light meals and\nkeep a light schedule for the first few days. There is medication you can take\nto help ease the symptoms, and most of the hotels have free oxygen for use if\nrequired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK passport holders do not require a visa to enter Chile,\nhowever you do require to have a minimum of 12 months validity on your passport\nfrom your return date. You must also have a valid Travel Insurance policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
