DD just invited me to accompany her on a four day trek along the Inca Trail in Peru up to Machu Picchu. Having been to Machu Picchu previously by train, I am excited at the idea of returning via the Inca trail, the total trek about 26 miles. The daily mileage is totally manageable; it's the altitude that will be the kicker. I have three days to decide, but am leaning strongly toward 'Yes.'
We did MP in June, only had a chance to go to the Sun Gate on the Inca Trail on our own one morning. We are both 60's active and live at 4600 ft and had spent the previous 10 days at sea level with no altitude problems.
Go for it.
