Not sure how high you live, how many times you have been over 6,000 feet, your age, your heart and lung condition. When I was in La Paz/ El Alto, I was younger, good health, not on meds - the altitude was not an issue. Now days, I probably would be caring a bottle of compressed air. If you are in great health, you will have few problems in the Alto Plano - Bolivia and Peru's high country. If you are a little out of shape, bad heart, lungs, try to spend a lot of time in the low country and don't exert yourself too much. Have fun, its a great country. If you can stand the taste, coca leaves help and are legal.
