Solo travel experience

I went to Ica, where the desert Oasis is. Went sandboarding and saw the best sunset of my life. Then I went to Cusco, got used to the altitude, and went on a 4-day trek (Salkantay trek) to Machu Picchu. It was hard, but so worth it. And just fell in love with Cusco. If I had more time I would have gone to Lake Titicaca, Rainbow Mountain, Paracas, and more places.

Solo travel experience

I went to the following places solo, and the vibe I got from each place: - Lima: stayed in Barranco which is a safe neighborhood, some parts of Lima ok during the day but definitely to be avoided evening and nighttime - Cusco / Machu Picchu: Cusco is jam-packed with tourists, didn’t feel unsafe, but was scammed and the bus driver from Cusco to MP tried to steal from my backpack - Puno / Lake Titicaca: Puno felt a bit dodgy, but I enjoyed staying on one of the floating islands on Lake Titicaca

Solo travel experience

My first solo trip outside of Europe was last year starting in Peru and it was incredible. Felt very safe, easy to navigate, and met lovely people. I was there when the protests kicked off last Christmas and while there was a lot of inconvenience and disruption with closures etc., but none of the tourists I know experienced anything unsafe.

TravelIs the Quarry Track a better option than the Inca Trail for a 62-year-old?

I’m looking at going to Peru and Machu Picchu in April next year. I’m 62 and reasonably fit. From those who’ve been there - would you recommend the Inca Trail or the Quarry Track? I kind of like the path less travelled so maybe the Quarry Trail with less people would be the best option.
