While the tour was nice, I expected some warnings on the tour info page about extreme elevation. I developed a serious breathing problem while going to Hornocal and coming back and still facing some discomfort in my chest after 24 hours. If there was some warning or notification on the page, I could have evaluated and reconsidered that leg of the tour. There was also no oxygen or medical camps to help me at either Hornocal or Humahuaca.
