There was water available for purchase at pretty much all the rest stops at fairly reasonable prices. Also the cook heated water for everyone in the morning. We brought water tablets, but never needed to use them. I would recommend hiring a porter to carry your sleeping bag and extra clothes, so you only need a heavy duty day pack to hike with. The pace is fairly fast, with long rest periods in between

I brought purification tablets, though that they can be bought in Cusco. You will be able to buy water on the Inca Trail. Bring them if you have them . The pills do not take up much room . I don't think we used ours. I think the water that we were served was boiled and fine or perhaps bottled . You will get a list of what to bring. Follow the list. I would look into taking altitude sickness meds. Speak to your physician. I am not sure if they are the reason we stayed healthy but some people did get altitude sickness and we did not.

Hi, Second night was just below zero (Celsius) and highest day temperature was around 20 to 25 degrees. I started with a lot of layers but ended up with shorts and t shirt. I had a 25 litre back pack which was fine as a daypack. Wasn't humid for us. Regards Per-Axel
