Very cool video!!! My daughter and myself did the exact same hike with Alpaca in August along with the stairs of Death (hard but not that scary). Thanks for posting as it was a nice hike along memory lane. One of my best experiences yet!!!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! And that is so awesome - we went in June! I totally agree, it was genuinely one of my best experiences yet. One of the most challenging but rewarding things I have ever done!
Thank you so much for posting this, I go next Friday, very nervous but you’ve very much reassured me, I’m frightened of heights but there seems like a good trail you walked on, you should be super proud you made it look easy, congratulations both well done 🎉
Thank you so much for your kind words, Annie! I'm SO excited for you and I'm sure you're going to do great. 💗 It is such an incredible experience I would do it again in a heartbeat! Our close friend is also afraid of heights and had no issues on this hike, so you should be alright. The only suggestion I would make is skipping the Huayna Picchu hike you can add on, which you do after reaching Machu Picchu. It had some very steep drop offs, so our friend skipped this and you get more time to explore the ruins which is a plus. I hope you have an amazing trip!! 🙌
I did it in 1987. Nearly killed me. I went with a school friend. There were zero restrictions back then and we had to plot our own way. 1 guy in another party 2 days behind us slipped and fell into a ravine. He didn’t make it. It’s hard and dangerous. I was a fit 18 year old. I could not do it now. Only regret is we didn’t have digital cameras back then. Only 1 roll of my film made it back.
Wow, I can't even imagine. Sorry to hear about the fellow 2 days behind you, how scary. It really is a difficult and dangerous trek to be taken very seriously. We all agreed afterward it was the most difficult (but rewarding) thing we had ever done. I definitely used the digital camera as an excuse to take lots of breaks while taking photos and videos haha. I bet you got some beautiful film shots. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Hi, thanks for watching! 3 of our group used the Osprey Daylite Plus (20L) backpack. I personally used the Osprey Daylite (13L) as I have a smaller frame. You are carrying your water, snacks, extra layers (when it gets warmer during the day), and misc (camera gear, sunscreen etc). We really love the Osprey brand since they have a lifetime warranty, high quality, and we used their compatible water bladders as well. Links in the description under Hiking Gear if you want to check them out. I hope this helps!
@@AdventureswithPinny and here I was thinking of getting a 75L one haha Do you think 55L is too big? I would like one that also allows me enough space for 1 day hiking with a tent. Do they have a size limit? Thanks again
I'll be honest, I'm not sure what size pack would be good for hiking with a tent. Since the Inca Trail is regulated by the Peruvian government and requires hiking with a guide, most tour guide services include porters which will carry your tent and camping equipment (and usually a specific weight limit for other goods such as personal items you would only need at night). I'm sorry that isn't much help. If you have chosen your guide company and they don't include porter services, I would ask them for their recommendations as they will know best from their experience working with other trekkers over the years.
We went at the very beginning of June, just at the beginning of the peak season. The weather was perfect although a little chilly at night and in the mornings before the sun rose. But you warm up quickly when you start hiking haha. Hope this helps!
@@panicmonkey That's so exciting! Yes, luckily no rain which would have been miserable. You'll probably have even more perfect weather than we did - it's peak season for a reason, right? 😉 Enjoy your trip, it's going to be incredible!!
@@panicmonkey Yes we did! Packed our rain jackets and rain pants just in case, didn't ever take them out of our bag. 😅And if we hadn't brought them it probably would have poured haha.
This was seriously the most challenging thing we have ever done (so far), but SO worth it. Would you hike the Inca Trail?!
The songs you have used in this video are topnotch.
Thank you so much! That means a lot. I really love these songs and was proud of how they worked with the video.

Which size backpack would you recommend? Cheers
