I must say I have never experienced this luxury in a camping/ hiking tour. We did the 4 day Inca trail from Ollanyaymbo through warmiwanusca pass to Machu Picchu from Sep 4-7 2024. We were pampered and our every wish was fulfilled. The tents were very spacious ; the beds super comfortable; sleeping bags were so warm.
