Truth! I was on a bus outside of Abancay, and they had to stop for a landslide. Meanwhile, a farmer going over the damaged road lost like 3-4 cattle over the edge due to the compromised road. Horrifying…

I’ve done the four-day hike. It’s fine. But don’t assume it’s not for people in shape. We had several couples get severe altitude sickness by the time we got MP. Why? Several reasons. No time to acclimate but also acting like they were locals by pushing to keep up with the porters (bad idea) at every turn.
So, don’t get all mathy and arrogant when conditions are variable for all.

User doesn’t understand the scale here. Or altitude involved. It’s like the uneducated saying it ain’t so bad outside a submarine at max depth.

it’s a very poor country. You get what you get.
