It’s not bad if you protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and long pants and applying big spray or cream to exposed areas
This is very helpful. Thank you. Definitely learn something new about trekking poles. How much does it cost to rent trekking poles there? Can you give some ranges $?

My rental included tent, sleeping bag, and trekking pole for $100. Steep but I sure wasn't going to pack my own and pay for extra luggage!
Great tips! Would you recommend the Inca trail during the rainy season?

@alexanderparson3374 March is right after they close in February for maintenance. The trail will be a bit mudy but people still hike in March. We have a group forming for May. If you’d like to join us please email us wearetrekkingpals@gmail.com

Yes 🙌 most accept USD and exchange it later. It’s easier for them with the local currency but if you choose dollars make sure the bills are crisp and in good state so that they’re accepted by the exchange office or the bank.
What about using the restroom while on the trail; especially for females? It appears that everything is out in the open 😢

With our group trips we offer portable toilets private to our teams to use at each campsite. It works really well for our female travelers.

What a nice little info-video! I do agree that the burden of travelling with a bigger sleeping back isn't worth the money used to transport it and take up packing space, etc...
