Congratulations!
Sounds like my kind of hiking. Day pack only! Of course the altitude and elevation gain/loss would certainly be a challenge under any circumstances.
Would you mind sharing which guide service you were using?
Thanks

Not a lot of companies do the 7-day Salkantay to Inca Trail route, so there were only 3-4 that I found during my research.
