We did a 3-day hike which was a challenge but thanks to our tour guide, Juan de Dios (“JD”) everything went very well. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the Inca trail and Machu Picchu and has vast experience on the trail. He can also explain much if the changing flora and fauna that you encounter as you ascend and descend on the trail. He was able to adjust his pace for all members in the group as some found the physical exertion at high altitude to be very challenging.
The porters were all very friendly and some of the hardest working individuals we have ever had the honor of meeting. They all are very dedicated to your safety and comfort.
Thank you to all of them.
If your schedule allows for a 4 day, opt for that with JD. If you’re pressed for time, then do the 3 day and embrace the challenge.
