The conditions on the trek can be harsh, wet, and cold and of course you need to adjust to the high altitude but the views are well worth it. I recommend a few days in Cusco…

    Going into the four-day Inca Trail hike, I really didn’t know what to expect since I hadn’t done any research at all and was just going with my friends. A four-day hike sounded long, but I’ve gone on a bunch of hikes before so I figured it wouldn’t be that hard…I was completely wrong. It…
