Everyone sleeps in a tent. So what's premium?

Luxury Inca Trail 4 Days

On this trail luxury can only mean four things: more of your gear on a porter, a warm bag in the price, a private toilet tent and a glass-roof train home. Here is which listing actually states them.

What Luxury Can Mean on This Trail

Our verdictUntil the premium listing states what it includes, the $798 trek is the most comfort you can verify.

It carries 7 kg of your gear, has a private toilet tent and brings you back on the Vistadome, with 592 reviews at 4.9. Rent a good sleeping bag and you have everything "luxury" can mean on this trail.

Luxury Inca Trail 4 Days: FAQ

Not in the hotel sense: everyone sleeps in tents at the same campsites.

Luxury on this trail means a heavier porter allowance, a sleeping bag in the price, a private toilet tent and the Vistadome back.

Groups of up to 8, a toilet tent for groups over four and a guided tour of Machu Picchu.

It leaves out the sleeping bag and the train ticket back, doesn't say how many kilos the porter carries for you, and has no reviews yet — so the extra $701 buys a smaller group, not comfort we can verify.

The $798 panoramic-train trek: 7 kg porter, private toilet tent, Vistadome back and 592 reviews at 4.9.

The sleeping bag is a rental.
