Emergencies in Cusco & Machu Picchu

Emergencies

Most large hotels have oxygen available for anyone having trouble with the altitude. The private Clínica Pardo provides North American/European-level health services and accepts some foreign health-insurance plans. The main public hospital in Cusco is the Hospital Regional. Its services cost less than Clínica Pardo's do. Cusco's Tourist Police are part of the Policia Nacional and are specially trained to deal with visitor concerns.
