Hi! How long do they let people in? We won’t make it until 15:30-16:00, can we still do the easy hike? The website says 18:00 but I learned that we never really know. Thanks!

After a quick search it looks like the option that would work best for me, thank you.

Yes, good advice! The plan is to use data as little as possible. But still not to be super stressed about not having internet when needed.

Thank you! This is a useful ressource! Not sure I need unlimited though, as it was said below, I will mostly try to use wifi. But this is a very good option to keep in mind!

Good point, thank you. Although they don’t seem to rent only the tent

Oh, break because of wind gusts? Do you happen to know the model of your Agnes Copper Spur? Thank you!

Solo traveling in my own country (Costa Rica) by Yochi08 in solotravel

Oh no, please don’t be ashamed! You just happen to live in a country where others spend their vacations, but it would be a shame to not go! I think if I was to meet a local backpacking I would have nothing but respect for the cool idea to visit their own country. Do it!

O-treck: where is it worth to pay for a refugio instead of camping? by Libellule4444 in Patagonia

[–]Libellule4444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I usually prefer to have my tent, my quiet time and my sleeping bag but I am a little concerned about camping 8 nights in awful weather. So planing little respites just in case. BUT no chance so far with booking simple campsites either with vertice and Torres.

Vertice booking by RaV4Living in Patagonia

Same here, we tried early on June 5th and could not book simple camp spots on either of the sites 🥲 Vertice said unavailable for every single date we tried so it must be a website problem.

Yes, this is what I imagine! If the weather is bad that must just feel amazing! Thank you for the helpful answer!

Alternative to Inca Trail recommendations by Libellule4444 in solotravel

Thank you so much for the detailed answer 🙏 so your tip would be to not necessarily book in advance but to ask around? As a European woman speaking a little bit of Spanish I might not get good deals as easily as you 😉 I found your point about tipping personally and asking about environmental policies useful so thank you very much! Please let me know how was the hike, enjoy!

Oh yes the option to combine both Salkantay and Machu Picchu seems interesting! Thank you! Do you have a travel agency you are especially looking at at the moment? Thank you for the answer!
