Machu Picchu: What It’s Really Like to Trek the Inca Trail

In this powerful episode of The Travel Podcast, Hayley is joined by Tom from G Adventures, and Paula and Laura from Not Just Travel, as they share their incredible journey along the legendary Inca Trail. This trek was not just an adventure but also a heartfelt mission, raising over £10,000 for the Pink Ribbon Foundation in honour of those affected by breast cancer.

Discover what it takes to hike the Inca Trail—four days of gruelling physical challenge, stunning landscapes, and emotional triumphs as they conquer Dead Woman’s Pass and finally reach the majestic Machu Picchu. The team opens up about the highs and lows of the journey: battling altitude sickness, overcoming personal fears, and experiencing a deep sense of camaraderie with fellow trekkers and guides.

This episode will take you beyond the physical challenge and into the emotional depth of why trekking the Inca Trail is a life-changing experience. Whether you’re adding it to your bucket list or just love a good travel story, there’s inspiration here for everyone.
