Sophomore Summer Internship Advice

Already secured a junior summer internship at an EB with pretty high return rates. Originally planned to work an unpaid remote internship and spend some time traveling this summer. However, I recently received an opportunity to work at a PE/HF that provides great learning experience that might be more beneficial than what I had originally planned. However, hours are pretty rough (60-70 hours a week) and I am not exactly sure when I will have an opportunity to travel again. Any advice on an option would be great.
