San Miguel Allende-altitude
 
Is there a noticeable difference when you're in SMA re. the altitude? Is there anything you can do before going to prepare for any effects of the altitude you may have? Or will the effects be negligible?

San Miguel is about 6,200 feet. Do you have trouble in Mexico City? That is over 7,000 feet.

Some folks have a feeling of shortness of breath, and some have headaches for a few days after a change in altitude. If you are in reasonable shape you should have no significant trouble -- but you should check with your doctor if there is any doubt.

Have a great trip -- SMA is just wonderful, IMO.
