    I am turning 18 soon and will hopefully be doing this hike. This vid has helped a lot. Thanks

    Will chewing coca leaves or drinking coca tea make me come up positive on a urinalysis? This trek looks like a great time.

    I've hiked the volcan de fuego hike in guatemala and it was pretty challenging. Is this trail as difficult, or would you say it's a bit easier?

    • @TrekkingPals
      @TrekkingPals  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Acatenango is pretty challenging because it's a grueling climb of one day, while the Inca Trail is over 4 days and you have enough time to acclimatize. I have hiked both and I think the Inca Trail is gentler. By the way, I have three groups going next year to hike the Inca Trail should you want to join us, you can find details on www.travelwithtrekkingpals.com

    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!

    What about using the restroom while on the trail; especially for females? It appears that everything is out in the open 😢

    • @TrekkingPals
      @TrekkingPals  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

      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 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...
