Once and a life time experience ! With the best in Peru

If you’re trying to decide which company to book for the Salkantay Trek, stop looking and book with Alpaca Expeditions. I just completed the 5-day, 4-night Salkantay Trek, and it was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life.

The biggest reason for that was our incredible guides, Caesar and Carlos.

Caesar is, without question, the best tour guide I have ever had. His knowledge of Peru, Incan history, archaeology, local traditions, culture, plants, wildlife, and the mountains themselves was absolutely incredible. Every day he shared stories and historical context that transformed the trek from just a beautiful hike into a meaningful journey through the history of Peru. By the time we reached Machu Picchu, I felt like I truly understood the significance of what I was seeing rather than simply looking at ancient ruins.

What really made Caesar exceptional, though, was the way he connected with every person in our group. He was endlessly patient, funny, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about what he does. No question ever felt too small, and he somehow knew exactly when to educate, when to motivate, and when to simply let everyone soak in the incredible scenery. Hiking at altitude isn’t easy, but Caesar made everyone feel capable and supported every step of the way. If you’re lucky enough to have Caesar as your guide, you’re in the very best hands.

Carlos was equally fantastic. He worked seamlessly alongside Caesar and was always there with a smile, encouragement, and a helping hand whenever anyone needed it. Whether it was checking on everyone’s well-being, making sure the group stayed together, or simply bringing positive energy to every day, Carlos played such an important role in making the experience unforgettable. The two of them make an incredible team, and you can tell they genuinely care about every single person on the trek.

I also cannot say enough about the chefs and porters. I genuinely don’t know how they managed to prepare such incredible meals in the middle of the mountains. Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner was beautifully presented, fresh, delicious, and far beyond anything I expected on a multi-day trek. I found myself looking forward to every meal because each one somehow topped the last. The chefs are true magicians, and the porters work unbelievably hard behind the scenes to make the entire experience possible. Their dedication deserves so much recognition and respect.

The entire trek was organized flawlessly from beginning to end. Every campsite was ready when we arrived, the equipment was excellent, the schedule was well paced, and I always felt safe and well looked after. Even the little touches throughout the trip made a huge difference.

Before this trip, I thought Machu Picchu would simply be another bucket-list destination. Instead, thanks to Caesar, Carlos, the chefs, the porters, and the entire Alpaca Expeditions team, it became one of the most meaningful and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had.

I will remember these five days for the rest of my life. Thank you, Caesar, Carlos, the chefs, the porters, and everyone at Alpaca Expeditions for creating memories I’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering hiking to Machu Picchu, I truly cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Best experience in Peru.

My husband and I booked a 2 day / 1 night Inca trail trek with Alpaca Expeditions and had an absolute blast. The best part of the trip was definitely the guides: Nilton, Benjamin Raul, and Marcos. Nilton as our lead guide was amazing. He was encouraging, gave clear instructions, and gave an extremely informative tour of Machu Picchu. Benjamin Raul and Marcos were also wonderful and made sure to take a number of pics of each person in our group, ensuring we had mementoes from our experience. There were 16 people in our group, yet the guides provided such great individual attention to us that the group felt small.

Another great perk was the food. We had lunch on the trail prepared by Alpaca’s chef and it was restaurant quality, which is unheard of on a trail in the middle of the Andes. We had so much fun on the hike and tour and will be encouraging all of our friends and family to book with Alpaca Expeditions.

Nilton is Quality

This expedition using Alpaca Tours and headed by Nilton was so good that it was as if he had only one more day, one more chance to do the very thing that he loves so much in his life. it was of that quality and level of greatness.

Best trek ever

The staff and the experience as a whole was the most well organized, enjoyable, and rewarding time. Every meal, pickup, and step on the trail was made possible by the amazing team and the cohesion they brought to the group. Samanez and Eber were the best guides possible and can’t thank them enough. Overall amazing experience.

We had a wonderful time with Juan visiting the Inca sites in Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Juan is very knowledgeable about the history and prehistory of the Inca civilization. He also knew all the best spots for pictures! We really appreciated his expertise.

In general: What an experience! Great guides, chefs, and porters. Alpaca Expeditions is a green company that pays close attention to their carbon footprint, sources their food locally, and has various programs that give back to their community. Bonus: they have a portable toilet that is well maintained and stocked with TP at all times. My personal experience: This is long, but hopefully helpful if you have any reservations about whether you can accomplish this trek! I arrived in Cuzco to acclimate 3 days early…however, I unfortunately succumbed to the altitude on day one of the actual hike and got worse on day 2 and 3. It is not lost on me that I was ONLY able to complete the trek because of the Alpaca team. The chef team, led by Cecilio, were very accommodating to my needs and prepared different teas to try to help me. Our groups guides, Alvin and Yojhan, were beyond encouraging and made sure I was safe the whole time. One of them was always with me even though I took twice as long as the rest of the group. >_< I can’t stress enough how important it is to have the right team supporting you in any situation. Their company’s back bone is stellar, but their actions during the hike showed me their heart is unbeatable.

I recently completed the 4-day Inca Trail with Alpaca Expeditions alongside my teenage daughters, and it exceeded every expectation. The weather was perfect all four days, which made the stunning views even better. Our guides, Yojhan and Alvin, were true experts, sharing deep insights into Incan history, the wildlife, and the flora and fauna of the area. They were incredibly patient and answered every question we had about Peru and more. From the start, they encouraged us to keep smiles on our faces and told us we’d become a "super family" by the end—and that is exactly what happened. The "super porters" worked tirelessly, and our chef Cecilio and his assistant cooked incredible meals for us along the way. Everything went perfectly to plan, and we finished the expedition with celebratory toasts and a shared album for photos with our new friends. I cannot recommend this team highly enough!

Muy buena experiencia con Alvin y Yojhan haciendo el camino Inka clásico. La comida que nos hizo Cecilio y Angelito estaba impresionante. Repetiría seguro!

The 4 day Inca trip was the best trip i have had in my lifetime. Beyond the scenic scenery everything has been well planned through. Alvin and Yohan were there for any possible inquries and shared a lot of nice insights along the inca trail. The food was better than any regular meal you can grab in town and was served three times a day by the amazing chef Cecilo and his crew. If you don’t do this trip you miss out.
