1. While you are there, you can expect to undergo some acclimatization to this higher altitude environment. Describe one of these possible acclimatizations. 2. Why would your body undergo such a change? What benefit or benefits does this acclimatization afford while you are vacationing in higher altitudes? 3. Several weeks after you have returned home from your vacation, can you expect to still have this acclimatization? Why or why not? 4. Also, while you are in the Andes, you notice that local people seem to be better adapted to the altitude conditions than you are. Describe one of these possible adaptations. 5. If someone with this adaptation were to come visit you in a lower altitude, would they lose their adaptation? Why or why not? 1.
