About Dr Suclly

Dr. Ambar Suclly is a physician based in Cusco providing medical care for international travelers visiting the Andes.

Through years of clinical work in Cusco, she has evaluated numerous travelers with altitude-related conditions including:

• Acute Mountain Sickness
• High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE)
• High-Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE)

A key aspect of medical care in high altitude environments is recognizing when symptoms are part of normal acclimatization — and when a patient requires treatment, rest, descent or hospital care.

Her work focuses on careful clinical evaluation to help travelers make safe decisions about their health while visiting Cusco and other high-altitude destinations in the Andes.
