Five star camping

We have now completed the famous Inca Trail and experienced the pleasure of portered treking. This means for the 18 of us treking there were 24 porters, one chef (with two assistants) and three guides! On arrival at our first lunch break we found a small marquee set up with a banqueting table complete with table cloths and place settings! During us walking from the lunch stop, the porters dismantled the lunch tent, overtook us on the trail (actually jogging along!) and set up a full camp site for us in time for afternoon tea! In the mornings we were woken with a cup of tea and a bowl of warm water for a wash!

Your table awaits

After three and a half days treking (42km) we finally arrived at the incredible Macchu Picchu where the highlight for me was the flushing toilets complete with seats (the one thing that was missing at every camp site!).

We even climbed the mountain behind Macchu Picchu……..

DonĀ“t jump!

    Hey guys, I can totally relate to the toilets at the end, and hopefully a comfortable bed!

    Did you use the same company, coz we sure didn’t get any hot water in the am!

    How was day 2? more details please!

    Am loving the blog site, keep it coming! the only thing you are missing about BDA is no humidity yet!
