Not sure how high you mean, but if you mean high enough that you need oxygen, you're looking at 20,000 feet. Anything from 10,000 feet upwards (if you are mountain climbing) you still run the risk of altitude sickness as the levels of oxygen are very low, but you can combat this with slow and deep breathing, and don't push yourself too far.

Can guinea pig survive in high altitude?

I don't think they can survive high altitude. Because they are so small, and when you are in a high altitude your not close to ground, and the air around you is different. And picturing my Guinea Pig in a high altitude is scary enough because she is so small, and fragile, too, lol. But, the main point is, guinea pigs probably can't survive in a high altitude, only different creatures.
