Our porters and cooks during our Inca Trail hike were great. All we had to do was carry our day packs with the things we might need during the day, along with some water and they carried everything else. They carried our tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, the food, the kitchen including a large propane bottle (the kind in your backyard grill!), and they carried two extra large tents; one for the kitchen and one for the dinning tables! Yes, dining tables and chairs!
We kept a pretty good pace up the trail, but they would pass us everyday with loads like this, stop for lunch and set up a kitchen and lunch tent, and then fix us a hot lunch including soup, tea, and everything we might need. Then they would pass us again to get to the final camp and set up for dinner.
Below is one of our lunch stops at about 12,000 feet in elevation. The blue tent in the background along with that blue propane tank were all carried up, including this tent, table and chairs. As you can see Jeremy is ready for food.
