Chile: San Pedro - Laguna and Attitude Sickness

Experienced attitude sickness earlier than expected.

San Pedro is about 2000+ meters above sea level. We know it right before we arrived... Then, joined a tour to see Geysers. It locates at 4200+ meters above sea level. We got medicine but somehow thought it should be OK... but not.

The tour departed at 4am and arrived 6am. When stepping out of the car and started walking, feel extremely tired and a quite dizzy. Gotta move like slow motion to keep going on. My friend was horribly affected by attitude sickness and rested on the car most of the time. Though, the scenery is... feel like on the other planet.
Mysterious. As if some other creatures may dash in. (or maybe it is my hallucination at high attitude)

Water froze at night and that´s why you can see something as follows.
And, it´s like onsen in Japan, if you dare to strip off your clothes outdoor at below 10 degree Celcius... I was worried that I may get worse by exercising... so, just to be a passive observer.

Though, this is just the start of my experience with attitude sickness...
