Just finished the Inca Trail, Machu Picchu, Peru, AMA

I got back from Peru and it was one of the best experiences of my life. 4days/3nights, 44 kilometers, ending with Machu Picchu. Hard to put into words.

​

Before I went I had a many questions and found it hard to get straight answers in one place, so here I am. The trail must be done with a licensed guide and permits sell out months in advance, so start planning early. The second day is the hardest with Dead Woman's Pass at over 4,200 meters, but it is absolutely worth it.

​

Happy to answer anything, packing, altitude, tour operators, fitness prep, or what to do in Cusco around the trip. Ask me anything.
