The Inca Trail is considered a moderate hike. It’s not a technical hike but there are a lot of Inca staircases to walk up and down, and the altitude may affect some individuals. We recommend renting an aluminum hiking pole or purchasing a wooden walking stick while in Peru as it will help with your balance and reduce the load on your knees.
