TPJ 30/8 Inca Trail & Amazon

Hi Heidi

 I've just booked this trip too.  I'm in the same boat as you and looking for some tips from some experienced trekkers.  However, worst case scenario we can muddle through together!

Hiya!

Sounds like we're going to have fun :-)

I'm been thinking/dreaming of doing this for years, and now have finally plucked up the courage to go.  I think I should be doing some exercises to prepare though, so have bought an exercise bike, but so far it mostly holds my jacket!

Hello Heidi and Andreana,

I've just booked on this trip. Looks amazing and I've heard so many great things about the Amazon Rainforest and the Inca Trail from friends who have already been that I can't wait to experience it all! Just need to sort out a sleeping bag and then I'm good to go!

And there was me worrying I'd be the only female going!  :-)

Hi Heidi,

I imagine the group will be fairly mixed, but with at least three girls so far, you never know, maybe the boys will be outnumbered! I don't know how many boys/girls are booked on the trip but when I booked there was one couple and either 4 or 5 individuals, age range 37-66.

How is the exercise bike?? I'm a member of a local walking group (via the Rambler's Association) and get out an about with them when I can so that's good prep too. Did a good 8 mile walk on Sunday.

Glad to here there are a few singles going  - didn't want to be the odd one so that's great.  I like a nice mix in a small group - it makes the holiday.  And  that age range is reassuring too - seems on the more discerning travellers do this kind of thing :-)

Execise bike has been used a little, but I do mean a little! I thought thetrip was still 6 months away until this week when it was pointed out - MUST USE BIKE MORE!!!

Hello ladies, my female friend and I have just booked on this trip.  We have also heard great things about the Inca Trail and Amazon Rainforest.  We are very much looking forward to the trip and to meeting our fellow travelling buddies.

Great, sounds like we're all going to have fun :-)
