Dangerous Travel: See Crater, Get Sick In Peru
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but just a day trip in Peru can make you sick, too. Dozens of people reported headaches and nausea this week after going to visit a crater possibly caused by a meteorite near Lake Titicaca.
The 22-foot deep hole may have released gases that caused locals and sightseers headaches and nausea. (That, or it was an attack planned by aliens. Paging Will Smith!) While going to see a meteorite crater it isn't a day at Six Flags, but it can be hard to resist the allure of really big, exciting geologic events. How far would you go to get that "wow" vacation photo?
