When Jorge Javier Vazquez laid down heading to Peru to enjoy the holiday In summer, the least expected was to discover not only the gastronomy of the country and its unique places, but also its health. And the fact is that in the middle of this antics, the presenter he had to be hospitalized for treatment due to altitude sickness from which he suffered and which caused pulmonary edema..

Since he himself now has several striking images on his Instagram account, he should have received four sessions in a hyperbolic chamber, taking corticosteroids and antibiotics among other things, to cope with this setback in his health. This completely ruined his plans and will mean he will have to enjoy the rest of the trip with considerable difficulty even eating, as the sore throat means “every bite I bite is like a knife,” he admits.

Something that, against all odds, didn’t make him lose was his characteristic sense of humor, which he used to talk about what happened to him through his networks. The presenter did everything for his part, so as not to miss the trip: “I was able to visit Machu Picchu by dragging myself with oxygen every ten minutes.“, he admits.

He assures that he was also in Cusco and wrote this very text shortly before the trip “to a place with mosquitoes”, in case everything that happens to him is not enough. Jorge Javier, with humor, He claims that the footage from his trip is so impressive that he tried to sell it.and in Spain it was a public holiday on 15 August and they were already closed when he tried to “please me by charging me a few euros”.

But it doesn’t end there, and the fact is that “planning” his trip hasn’t relaxed one bit, and in his state, all that’s left to do becomes an even more convoluted adventure. So much so that he assures that this may be the last thing he does in his life: “I have several flights to make this trip. Any special message for your loved ones? Remember that I carry you in my heart“, he said again in a humorous way to deal with the situation.
