When going to Machu Picchu in Peru, is it true that they give you a tea with cocaine in it?
They say it’s to help with the altitude…is this true? and if so, what are the effects?
No, its not true.
They do, however, serve tea with coca leaves. Or you can chew a coca leaf, its helps with the high altitude. Cocaine is chemically extracted from the coca leaf, but there is no tea wit cocaine in it.
