In reply to Wendy Watts. Hi Wendy, thanks for getting in touch. I wouldn't be too scared. The Inca trail is a little more challenging than the Lares, and has many more steps which takes it's toll on the knees. I recommend sticking to the plan suggested in our article and you should be just fine. My main recommendation is to spend a few days in Cusco before the trek to ensure you are well acclimatised.

Bit scary. I AM going in September, 2024 doing the Lares trail. I'm 70 in march. Reasonably fit . I swim 2 times a week. 60 lengths in all . And walk every day with dogs. Any advice please? Or follow your plan. it looks very helpful.

In reply to Robin L.. Hi Robin, the best time to hike the Inca trail is May-September. The should months of April and October are also fine and tend to be a little quieter.
