(Note: the best advice I can offer readers for hiking the Inca trail is to book as early as possible–six months would be ideal–wear good shoes, be in good shape, and arrive in the Cuzco area as many days as possible to acclimatise yourself to the altitude. A week in the Andes before heading off is best and the better the shape you are in, the more you will enjoy the hike. By early March, 2008 the trail was booked through the entire summer–KM).
