Default VP shunt at altitude

Hi guys,

just wondering if anyone had any advice. I had a VP shunt put in some years ago. Am organising a trip to do the inca trail where I'll be going to an altitude above 4000 metres. Do anyone know if there are any issues with VP shunts and altitude? I saw the forum posting about VP shunts and flying but I'm guessing that's different because the cabin is fully or at least partially pressurized.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
