where can i rent and who i contact to rent medical oxygen while i am in peru. probable cusco will be the best place for me to get and return.  thanks bob

Answer
Hi!  I really have no idea where you can rent that BUT it probably is possible.  I would not depend
on that and would brng what I needed.  There is no use to taking a chance.   I really do not know what a
concentrator is so should probably tell you to contact another expert on Peru.

I know, whatever I need in medication, I take with me even if I know I can get it in Peru.
