I was told this hike would be hard and because I'm very active I thought it was an understatement. I was wrong. It was challenging. Pack light and I highly recommend a porter. The food was delicious. It exceeded my expectations. Our guide was Manuel. He was great. Kept us on the perfect schedule. We were rarely on a crowded path and never got too hungry before a meal was provided.
I read other reviews about the trail and honestly they scared me. After the first day it was obvious the weren't with the company Inca Trail Reservations .
