Yes, a couple buddies are taking the Inca Trail which is apparently quite easy but my girlfriend and I are doing the Salkantay Trek which is a bit longer, much less crowded, and supposedly more difficult. We're also going to be cutting it close with acclimatization so I don't want to add being out of hiking shape to that!
Thanks for all the great responses so far everyone! Keep em coming, I'd love to do about a dozen this year if I've got the time.
I've got a pair of Merrell hiking shoes from the "day hike" section of MEC. I'll be getting a set of proper hiking boots before heading down south; any recommendations?
