Thank you so much for sharing this. I completed the Classic Inca Trail in 2014 and my gf at the time wanted to join but was too reluctant. After coming back and sharing my footage and photos, she wants to give it a go...eventually. There are a lot of Classic Inca Trail videos with tips, advice and what to generally expect, but yours is the only one I agree with 100%. It'll inspire and motivate her into committing to this incredible adventure and I can't wait to capture the look on her face when she gets to the Sun Gate while I quietly celebrate returning with her as my wife.

This is wonderful! My plan is to be in Peru in March 2023 and doing the Inca Trail, but now maybe rethinking a bit and doing Bolivia first for a few weeks and then Peru. Hadn't thought of a raincoat or poncho - but now added to my list! I also watched your Bring or Leave video which was super helpful. Getting ready to watch the rest of your Peru videos (new subscriber!)

No snacks? Hmmm not sure if i’ll be good with that, I love my snacks on the trail hahaha ~ thanks for your tips! We’re going on a week!! Wohoo 😊😮😅😂

Thank you so much for sharing all this. It was extremely helpful and descriptive.

Lol yeah coca leaves really help

thanks for the video-lots of great information. I haven't traveled a lot and do not know what is custom in other countries. What would you say is a good tip for a trip like this?

Excellent info 🏌️

Mailing things home is a good way to reduce weight, but I'm not sure if I'd want to try it. I've tried mailing souvenirs home from Egypt and from Tanzania. Both times it was a smallish package, three or four t-shirts along with a couple of keychains and refrigerator magnets; both times I was very careful to be sure that the address was clear and accurate and that it had the right postage; and both times I never saw the package again.

Nice tips they definitely still good up haha 😆

There are so many 'tips' for preventing altitude sickness. Over the period of many years doing these I developed my own: 1. Do not ascend too quickly. Fly from sea level (like the city of Lima) to a medium altitude city (like Arequipa, 2,500m). After a few days, fly to a higher city (like Cusco 3,400m). 2. Before your flight to Cusco, saturate your blood with sugar (feed yourself carbohydrates) - your body will need access to quick energy to deal with the stress of altitude. I chew on my preferred candy (like Halls, or lemon flavored ones) 3. As you are getting off the plane, do not let your heart beat too fast too quickly. I would say stay below 125 bpm. If you let your heart beat faster, you will get a bad headache. 4. Stop frequently and take deep breaths. 5. Drink a lot more water than you usually drink - do not let yourself get dehydrated at any point. If you pee and your urine is too dark - drink a lot of water. 6. Do NOT drink alcohol the first two nights above 3,000m. Do not eat anything that takes long to digest (like heavy meats and fats). 7. Take it easy on the first day. Take a very easy walk around your hotel, sit down and breathe. Avoid raising your heart rate too much. 8. Drink Coca Tea (anesthetic) - helps to reduce the effects of altitude stress on your body. 9. Before your flight to Cusco you may take a few pharmacologically active options (a) Azetazolamide, (b) Sildenafil (Viagra)/Tadalafil (Cialis) 10. SLEEP

Out of topic since you hike. I was hiking alone it was my first hike ever and I hear a deep growl not a mountain lion growl. Do you think it was a coyote or wolf. I looked up and wasn’t able to see what it was. I never hiked in my life and I was alone so it made me wonder what animal it was

I went to your website and its under construction now. I’d like to know what company you used for the tour?

also how did you charge your phone and keep battery?

Dead Woman's Pass.. That's one hell of a name.😅

can you share the company you hiked with please?!!

Was 4 days sufficient or would you recommend doing the 7 day tour? Additional, any recommendations on the tour package?

4 days is just for the Inca Trail. You could add additional days for “regular” site seeing in the towns like Cusco.

Their salary is already baked into the $750 you pay for the trail. They are making several multiples of the average salary for a week coming from what you're paying for the Inca Trail. I'm curious why the additional tips since they are being paid extremely well by Peru standards already.

Which company did you use?

Is there a limitation on the size of your backpack?

Yes check with your guide. I forget how much but some people carried half their stuff and also used a porter

Who did you use as an outfitter, can anyone recommend one?
