Plus, if you have a big enough group, you could probably dictate whatever length you wanted.

We went in their 'winter' - which is the dry season (May) and were in peru to 28 days and it only rained once (including while in the rain forest) . . and that day was the last day of the inca trail !

Can anyone tell me if the rains adversely affect mountain/valley views while on the trail? Is the cloud cover dense and constant enough to block views during end of November? Thanks! vj Hey,

It sounds like an amazing adventure. We are considering the 4-day hike, but are concerned about just how difficult it will be. We are in our mid-50's and in excellent health. I work out regularly and run a 5K every once in awhile, so not exactly a couch-potato. My husband does not work out but has always been very active (sailing instructor) and has sworn he will get himself ready with a real training routine. We hiked in Patagonia 2 years ago - but never more than a day at a time, and never at these altitudes. We spent a week in Tibet so we do know how we are at 12,500 ft - we didn't suffer altitude sickness - but again we were not hiking! So, our question is - do you think we are nuts to try this????

I concur with exercising beforehand. I don't hike at all, and we signed up for the 3-day hike. It's the same length but compressed at breakneck pace in three days. I almost died (half-joking). But I'm sure with a little exercise, it would have been a lot easier. Definitely, one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. I hope to go back again and try the Salcantay trail to Machu Picchu someday I did the Inca Trail in November, and it was amazing.
