Again, can not really schedule in advanced flying standby. So, down to footwear, since no treks/hikes planned just wore a pair of tennis shoes hoping it did not rain on us as its considered dry season in June.

Hi! We are trying to decide on a longer hike with Machu Picchu included like Choquequirao, or a shorter Rainbow mountain hike combined with a seperate overnight trip to Machu Picchu. Any thoughts? I am thinking we can do the shorter hike, rest up for a day, then visit Machu picchu?
