¿Do you think is easy to be an Inca Trail Guide

The Inca trail guides are not made of metal; our work depends on 80% of feet, especially knees and unkle. Most of the year, Inca Trail tour guides sleep in a hotel of thousand stars “a tent” but happy to say. We almost live in one of the seven wonders of the world, Machu Picchu. Therefore it was another motivation to keep working in the same industry, maybe is not the same as working as mountaineer, but i am occupying the position of a leader for myself.
