What equipment would we need and in particular what sort of shoes should we bring with us? Would a pair of trainers be okay?

January is one of the rainy months in MP, I would recommend hiking shoes, while weather changes rapidly, rainy can turn to sunny in a matter of minutes. Most of the equipment will be available for rent in our facilities.

How physically fit do we need to be for this tour?

Physical fitness matter as much as inner strength and will power. The Inca Trail elevation changes make the hike strenuous as there are three passes during the hike and you will have 1950 meters of uphill and 2250 meters of descent.

We had a very nice time at the San Blas island of Yanis. It's a small paradise! Plenty of time to relax. Why not 5 stars? Small things, like the chaos at the waterfront when you need to be directed to the correct boat and there might be some more activities posible on the island, for example as simple as a football (as you don't bring that your self). In the tour description was a sunken gunboat, but as nobody was able answer our question in English and I can't talk Spanish, we where not able to find it. I think that language has been a barrier for us as for example the optional visit to Kuna Yala Village was never offered of mentioned to us. The description of the trip mentions a 4x4 jungle drive. To set the right expectations: the route does indeed pass through the jungle, but it follows a well-paved road, so it wasn't quite the experience we had anticipated. This feedback is to improve evenmore as the overal trip was just amazing! I loved every minute of it and if you are doubting.... don't. Just go!Show more
