Both the Inca Trail and Lares Trails are fairly well maintained, but because they are all hand built, they are not as even as modern paths. If you are used to walking on uneven terrain, then you'll be fine using walking shoes. If you are not used to hiking, then it will be well worth investing in good quality hiking boots. In wet weather the trails can be a little slippery or muddy. Waterproof hiking boots help to prevent blisters and discomfort. We suggest high top hiking boots or quick dry footwear with good ventilation. There is a rainy season and a dry season in Peru.
