I don't think you'll feel much at 4,000 feet - but everyone's different.

Some people use diamox for high altitude - but I think 4,000 feet isn't so high that you need to take a drug to deal with it. If cocoa tea was available in the US, I'd say drink that - it's really effective in Peru.
What a great idea! I'm going to check out the local Ethnic Latin stores around here in NJ. We have a bunch from where I get my Peruvian's Quinoa. I'll let you know if I get lucky.
