Rainbow Mountain, Beautiful Geologic Expedition
We had a wonderful day with our guide, Richard, and driver to Rainbow Mountain. We were very well taken care of with amazing food and great knowledgeable company. They were able to accommodate my gluten free and dairy free restrictions without any difficulty. The mountain was beautiful, of course, even with the crowds of people. Don't cheat, hike it. It is so much more amazing when you work for it!
Amazing Experience
We are from Canada and picked Alpaca Expedition for our tour and did not disappoint!! Great service and very organized. Special mention to our tour guide JAIME VASQUEZ very knowledgeable about history and well spoken English. He always make sure we are safe and doing great. If we are out of breath during all the walking and climbing he slows down. My partner got sick during our stay but they are very helpful he only went to one of our trips. Would highly recommend!!! By the way Jaime is also a great photographer!!! He always check if we got great pictures and volunteer to take pics for us!!!👍🙏
Inca trail closure: disorganized response but incredible guides and porters
We couldn't do the classic 4-day inca trail because it was closed for repairs. Alpaca gave us the choice to do an alternative 4-day itinerary or to do the shorter 2-day inca trail. The 4-day version was essentially a day and a half of hiking to the ruins of Uchuy Qosqo plus the 2-day inca trail. My family group of 4 (including my 74yo father) opted for the former. Although these were extraordinary circumstances and the company was having to cope with fast-changing circumstances, the response felt very disorganized and we would have appreciated better communication about the different options.
Despite the administrative difficulties, our trip was an overall success. The key to this success was our team of guides and porters, led by Juan Carlos H. and Romario. Our guides were very experienced, extremely kind and patient, spoke perfect English, and were also very funny. There were a few times when our group would make a stop, everyone looking a bit drained out, and JC would know exactly the right thing to say to put a smile on everyone's face and get people going again. JC and Romario were also extremely patient with my father and ensured his safety and enjoyment of the trip. The team of porters and cooks was also incredible. Everything was always ready on time, our stuff arrived in perfect shape, and the food was abundant and tasty. These people do a very difficult job and this type of trip would not be possible without them.
On to the hike itself, our first half leading to Uchuy Qosqo was beautiful. We started near Sacsayhuaman outside Cusco and hiked for a whole day until our camp site near a creek. We got to experience what it's like to camp in a beautiful setting in the middle of nowhere. Next morning we left through a small canyon that was also incredibly beautiful and walked a bit to get to the ruins, which were very interesting. The rest of that second day wasn't particularly remarkable. We had to hike down a very steep mountain to get to the village of Lamay, where we had our lunch and then got on a bus to Ollantaytambo, where we camped at a horrible location. However, being in Ollantaytambo facilitated the logistics for day 3, when we took the train to km104 and did the one day hike to Machu Picchu via the Sun Gate. That day's hike was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Our eyes teared when we first saw Machu Picchu from up high. 100% worth it. We then spent the night in Ollantaytambo. Day 4 involved a second visit to Machu Picchu, this one more detailed. One positive aspect of the revised itinerary was that we got to visit Machu Picchu twice, one from above getting the panoramic view, and one from below touring the citadel.
Overall, I can't say enough positive things about our guides and porters. Cusco, the sacred valley, and Machu Picchu are full of culture, nature, and beauty. Totally worth the trip. Alpaca as a company was somewhat disappointing.
Thank you Sergio and Kenyo!!
Incredible tour and company.
The trek itself is incredible but what really made the experience was the guides.
Sergio and Kenyo are the best guides I’ve ever seen on any tour. Before, during and after, they went above and beyond.
Also the accommodation and food during the trek is top tier and well worth the price.
