Altitude issues

7 years ago
OMG! This is getting real!! I am hoping to join a conference in Quito in August, but I am worried about altitude issues. I have lived at sea level for the past 30 years, and I am 71, so I expect I will need a lengthy adjustment period. I want to spend probably a total of 2-3 months getting to know Ecuador with the intention of moving there in the very near future. Can you make some suggestions as to the best places to spend some time acclimatizing before I explore the higher realms? Also, which city is the best to fly into (from US) - especially with the above concerns?
