The comfortable camping experience on the Inca Trail was a dream come true. For a trail that is legendary for being quite crowded, the itinerary we followed allowed us to experience the trail almost entirely on our own. It was amazing. Moreover, the camping experience felt like glamping with better food on the trail than the restaurants we went to as a group.
