Hi guys! 26 miles later, I made it to one of the seven wonders of the world: MACHU PICCHU. Making it to all seven is a bucket list item...4 down, 3 to go. This is not my usual content or style of filming but wanted to share my fun solo travel adventure and hopefully encourage people who are afraid to travel alone to step out of their comfort zone and go see the world. I hope you enjoy it. Please don't forget to like, share & subscribe. As always, appreciate the continued support.
Tour Company I used: www.alpacaexpeditions.com/cla...
Tips for success - Packing list (must fit in day pack and no more than 7kg for issued duffel bag)
- Waterproof hiking shoes and flip flops/camp shoes (recommend crocs) for when you are done hiking for the day.
- Outer layers (1 rain jacket, 1 light weight down jacket, 1 light weight fleece, 1 rain pants)
- 2 pairs of hiking pants, 2 long sleeve shirts, 2 short sleeve shirts
- Bring thermal top and bottom and heavy-duty mountaineering socks to sleep x1
- Bring merino wool socks (full cushion) x 4, underwear x 6, sports bras x4
- Headlight, sunglasses, wide brim sun hat, neck scarf, cold weather hat
- Heavy duty insect repellent, 50-70 spf sunscreen
- Waterproof pouch for passport, cash and other valuables
- 25-28L day pack with water proof cover, 1.5-3L water bottle or water bladder
- Small trash bags x 4 (to store dirty clothes and sleeping bag)
- Waterproof gloves (a must)! I used hand warmers at night
- high quality rain poncho
- 4-6 packets of tissue paper, small hand sanitizer
- Small packet of baby wipes/body cleansing wipes
- Sleeping bag rated for -18 degrees c (you can also rent one from the company)
- Portable battery pack (recommend anker brand)
- Bring cash 400-500 soles for tips at the end of the journey. Trust me the team will earn it! Also bring coins because you have to pay 1 soles for bathrooms on the hike
- Snacks/energy bars, toiletries
- Ibuprofen, pain killers for muscle aches, anti-diarrheal, anti-nausea meds, Diamox as needed
Tips for success - Hiking
- Maintain a positive attitude always. No matter the conditions, your attitude makes so much of a difference.
- 4 day/3 night trail is tough. Mentally and physically prep to walk 26 miles mostly uphill, on uneven terrain. You will feel so accomplished once you are done! You got this.
- Enjoy every moment. The views are incredible and breathtaking.
- Bottom line up front is the best way to see Machu Picchu is through the Inca Trail.
Good Luck,
Angel

Cheers to you for venturing outside of the United States. 75% of people never travel more than 500 miles from their hometown in their entire life.

Ok sweet! I just got to the part where you explain the living quarters as I plan on doing this solo as well. Looks like a challenge. But since I can appreciate journeys being as important if not more than the actual destination , it’s a challenge in up for! I see some older folks there. What was the youngest and oldest aged person in your group?

Could you tell me how you manage carrying cash / local currency for the trip? Any tips would be appreciated.

Hey! Just get a waterproof carrying satchel from Amazon and put it in your day pack. While traveling on aircrafts just have it in the case and put it in your purse. Hope this helps!

Great trip!! I'm interested in flight nursing and I'm in the USAF! Would you be willing to connect with me to talk/message me directly?!
