There are a handful of hikes in this world where travellers, hikers, and adventurers alike dream of going. These destinations often require a healthy amount of work and determination to complete, and arriving at their peaks is an accomplishment for any traveller. Mount Kilimanjaro<\/a> and the Inca Trail<\/a> are arguably two of the most well-known hikes of all time. (discover here how to get to Kilimanjaro<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about embarking on one or both of these famous hikes, there\u2019s a lot you should consider. From costs to health concerns, they are by no means a walk in the park. That being said, with the proper training, research, and tour company, both of these hikes can be done safely by anyone in good physical health. Here are some of the essential points to consider when comparing hiking Kilimanjaro vs. The Inca Trail.\u00a0(discover here the training for Machu Picchu<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Getting to Kilimanjaro<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mount Kilimanjaro is a three-million-year-old dormant volcano in the Kilimanjaro region of North East Tanzania<\/a>, Africa. Known as the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, this beast reaches an altitude of 5,895m above sea level, making it a challenging trek for even the most experienced hikers. Around 44,000 people attempted the ascent in 2016, and roughly 75% successfully made it to the summit.<\/p>\n

How many days does it take to climb Kilimanjaro?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Days to hike:\u00a05-9 days\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The length of the hike varies depending on the route taken and the tour company you choose. As a rule of thumb, remember the more time you spend on the mountain acclimatizing, the more likely you are reach the\u00a0summit. Many companies offer a five-day hiking option. While it is possible to complete the trek in this time frame,\u00a0you should not underestimate it and the risks involved. Shorter time frames\u00a0can increase the risk of altitude sickness and lead to a failure in reaching the summit. You\u2019ll make it to the top, don\u2019t worry, so don\u2019t rush it. Take your time and acclimatize safely.<\/p>\n

What’s the cost to climb Kilimanjaro?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cost:\u00a0$2,000 USD to $6,000 USD<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Again, this price varies depending on the tour you choose. Remember to read all of the guidelines from the tour company as to what\u2019s included, safety precautions, supplied chefs and porters, etc. While one company may be lower in cost, there\u2019s a likelihood that they don\u2019t supply hiking gear, high-end cooks, safety equipment, etc., so make sure you read deeper as to what the price includes.<\/p>\n

What’s the best time to climb Kilimanjaro?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Months: January to March, June to October<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

While it is possible to hike Kilimanjaro all year round, two seasons are favourable. January to March is typically colder, and there\u2019s a higher probability of snow, but the slopes are much quieter. June to October is dry and warmer, however much busier. April and November are the wettest months making it not ideal for trekking.<\/p>\n

How hard is it to reach the summit?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Difficulty:\u00a0Challenging<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many factors influence this difficulty rating; despite being considered as a walk-up mountain,\u00a0Kilimanjaro is widely considered an arduous trek, even for experienced hikers. The altitude is high, the weather isn\u2019t always comfortable, the sleeping arrangements involve camping, and the incline is steep. Without proper training, this hike becomes even more difficult, so preparation is always advised.<\/p>\n

Accomodation: Camping\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The hike to the summit of Kilimanjaro doesn\u2019t offer much regarding comfort. The washroom situation is known for being less than ideal, most nights you\u2019ll be sleeping in tents or huts, and temperatures fall below freezing at night. The good news is, once you make it to the top and see the view, none of that matters.<\/p>\n

Safety Considerations:\u00a0Altitude Sickness, Hypothermia, Heart Attack<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you even think about hiking Kilimanjaro, you need to prepare. Talk to your doctor about your physical health to see if there are any red flags or concerns. Consider altitude sickness medication and make sure you hike at a pace that\u2019s safe for your body. Warm clothes and sleeping bags are a must – it gets very cold and being warm is as much of a comfort factor as it is a safety concern. Lastly, train before your trek. Your heart and lungs need to be used to regular hiking, so they don\u2019t go into shock on the mountain. A daily fitness routine will make a huge difference.<\/p>\n

How to get to Machu Picchu<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Inca Trail is an ancient roadway created by the Inca to reach the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Machu Picchu<\/a> – a citadel built by the Inca in the 15th-century. Hidden in the mountains of Peru,<\/a> the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu welcomes thousands of visitors each year, all eager travellers looking to reach the stunning summit.\u00a0Reaching an altitude of 4,200m, compared to other treks, the Inca Trail isn\u2019t considered as difficult. The success rate of reaching the finish point on this trail is over 90%.<\/p>\n

\"Machu

How long is the Inca Trail?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Days to hike: 3-5 days\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Different tour companies will offer different options regarding the length of your trek, but most timelines fall between three and five days. Because altitude sickness is still a possibility, the longer hikes are often considered safer and also give you more time to enjoy the lush jungles and ancient ruins of the trail. If health is a concern of yours, some tours offer day trips to experience parts of the trail. However, that\u2019s not the most popular option.<\/p>\n

What’s the cost to hike the Inca Trail?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Because it’s short, many tour companies will bundle the Inca Trail with other destinations in Peru – that\u2019s why you\u2019ll see higher prices. If you\u2019re only after a guide for the five-day hike, costs will be on the lower end. Because the Inca Trail is high in demand and permits are limited, it is one of the pricier treks when you compare the cost to the length of the journey. It may be an expensive five days, but it\u2019s always worth it.<\/p>\n

\"An

What’s the best time of year to visit the Inca Trail?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Months: May to September<\/strong><\/p>\n

May to September are the driest months in Peru, meaning they are the best for hiking. While they are cooler in temperature, it\u2019s worth it not to have to battle against rain. December to February are incredibly wet and warm, making trekking a challenge. Believe it or not, the government of Peru closes the trail during February for maintenance – but it\u2019s so wet you wouldn\u2019t want to hike it anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

How hard is it to complete the Inca Trail?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Difficulty: Moderate<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This rating will vary from hiker to hiker, but for the most part, people consider the Inca Trail a moderately difficult trek. The altitudes are high, but with a day or two of acclimatization in the city of Cusco before, most hikers have no issues. It also involves less hiking each day and a healthy combination of inclines, so you\u2019re not putting as much strain on your body.<\/p>\n

Accommodation: Pretty Comfortable<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Because the Inca Trail has experienced such a boom in popularity, accommodations along the trail are quite comfortable. There are washrooms with toilets and showers along, and the sleeping arrangements are typically quite comfortable, either in heated huts, tents, or cabins. Most tour companies bring along trained chefs, porters, and horses to ensure comfort.<\/p>\n

Safety Considerations: Altitude Sickness, Robbery<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

For the most part, the only safety consideration to think about along the Inca Trail is altitude sickness. Nearly every tour company will recommend that travellers acclimatize for two to three days before they attempt the hike. If you fail to do so, you are at higher risk. Also, this rarely happens, but there have been reports of stolen property while hiking the Inca Trail. Do your best to keep your belongings close to you and if you think something has gone missing, report it to your guide right away.<\/p>\n

While both of these destinations are beautiful, inspiring, you should take some consideration and training before attempting either trail. My advice: take things slow and work your way up to the bigger treks – there\u2019s no reason to need to rush your trip, research, or training. Thankfully both of these landmarks are significantly protected, so they will be there for years to come. Perhaps start with Machu Picchu and then graduate to Kilimanjaro. And when you\u2019re ready, there are dozens of tour companies who can help you plan the trip of a lifetime.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
