Amazing guides at ethical company

We had a wonderful trip on the 7 day Salkantay and Inca Trail with our guides Ivan and Romario. They were professional, knowledgeable, super fun, and helped us with anything we needed. Everyone on the staff from the chefs to the porters were exceptional. The food was outstanding and as a vegan that’s very important to me. I had more than I could eat at every meal. I really appreciate the social programs and focus on employee, community, and ecosystem wellbeing that Alpaca supports - and is why we chose them.

Outstanding time on the Salkantay/Inca Trek

We just did the 7D/6N Salkantay/Inca Trek and it was AMAZING! Our guide Ivan C. was outstanding and extremely knowledgable about the history, plants and animals of the trail. Delicious food, great people, and an overall wonderful experience!

Amazing

The hike was absolutely incredible. The views and history make this the experience of a lifetime. It's a tough hike (day 2 is killer), but well worth it in the end. Everything was perfectly organized from the pickup from our hotel to the drop-off at the end. Our guides (Rolando and Joel) were knowledgeable, helpful, insightful and super accommodating of everyone's needs. The food was amazing; chef Fabian performed miracles. The food was far better than anything you would expect on a hike. The porters also did an amazing job of overtaking us every morning to have lunch and our campsite set up before we even arrived. They made the trail look easy while we struggled along behind them. Alpaca also does a great job of giving back to the community, which makes it feel even better to support them.

In a word - magical

This was absolutely one of the most incredible experiences of my life - memories to last a lifetime. What an amazing way to discover one of the Inca trails to Machu Picchu. Breathtaking scenery and so much biodiversity to see along the way. Our guides Rolando and Joel were deeply knowledgeable and gave everything their own sense of fun. The porters deserve a big shout out - they are athletes, and are integral to making the process as smooth for non-seasoned hikers as possible. Each and every meal was delicious - top restaurant quality magicked together with ingredients all carried up by the porters. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alpaca Expeditions to anyone looking to explore the Inca trail.

Our tour guide was called Luis and he was a legend! He was extremely kind, funny, took us lots of photos and videos and was patient and informative throughout the whole tour. The crowd size was comfortable, the panoramic view spots he took us to were exceptional and food was great. Overall, this tour, without a doubt, was amazing and I have no regrets.

Rony is very knowledgeable and friendly - couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide!! The history of the Incas and the significance of each location was well explained and very interesting. Would definitely recommend to book, you’ll have a great time!

Wonderful experience with Alpaca Expeditions, with Victor and Ingri! We did short Inca trail and it was amazing. Everything was organized super well.

We had an amazing experience doing the 4-day/3-night trek with Wilberth, Kenyo, Ever and the amazing head chef Al Alfredo ♥️ It was our first trek at high altitude and the pace was perfect. The group was fairly mixed ability, and they accommodated everyone well (faster people could push ahead while slower people were accompanied by guides and everyone got the details of the archaeological sites together). The porters work astonishingly hard to make your stay comfortable, carrying heavy weights for dozens of km. Can’t get all your creature comforts (e.g nice toilets), but it is an outdoor trek… 100% recommend. 🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙

Could have been Disastrous

Visiting Machu Picchu has been a dream of mine since I was a child. My wife and I are both in great shape, had trained hard, came early and felt fully prepared for the trek. Despite all our careful precautions, altitude sickness hit me hard on the very first day. By the time I reached camp, I was exhausted and dehydrated, but I was so deeply grateful for the incredible support of our guides and our wonderful group—we truly had the best group in the world (a special shoutout and thank you again, Jon!). On the morning of the second day, it was determined that for my health and safety, it would be best if I did not continue. While we were sad to say goodbye to our new friends and head back down the mountain, that is when the company truly showed its greatness. Ro Ro arranged for Marcus, one of their fantastic guides (along with a porter), to accompany us back down. What could have been a disappointing turn of events transformed into an unforgettable adventure. Marcus stayed with us for the rest of the trip, becoming not just our guide, but a true friend. We made lifelong memories on this alternative route, and for the outstanding care, flexibility, and kindness we received, we couldn't be more thankful. Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you never planned for!

The hike of a lifetime

Unfortunately we were not able to do the traditional Inca trail due to adverse weather conditions. However, the replacement hike and short Inca trail that Alpaca were able create a hike/trail for us at very short notice. I wanted to say an enormous thank you to Sergio and Luis and their team for helping make this trip so special to all of us. The food was incredible and our experience would not have been made possible if it wasn’t for their amazing hospitality. But the biggest thank you can only go to one person. Joyce, you were unbelievable for our entire expedition. You gave us the answer to every question no matter how stupid some of them were. You became part of our family and made the trip perfect for all of us. I know that every single one of us from our group will treasure the memories you brought us for the rest of our lives. Finally I wanted to say, Sulpayki, wawqiykuna panaykuna, kay viajepi kuska purisqanchikrayku. ❤️❤️

An amazing treck to the greatest of the Incan sights.

We had an absolutely amazing treck despite the itinerary being changed due to unprecedented weather. The new route was amazing made all the better by having such a knowledgeable and amazing guide in Joyce who explained all the sites that we wondered through and the history around them. We had some amazing food courtesy of Sergio who cooked amazing food for me and made sure my nut allergy was very well cared for. Thank you for such an amazing time.

Incredible hike with Joyce

I had the pleasure of doing this hike on 22-25th august. Due to weather we ended up not able to do the full Inca trail so alpaca created a new route for us to do, finishing with the short Inca trail. The hike itself was gorgeous, we had great weather and the views were out of this world. What really made the hike was the incredible team we were given. We had 8 porters, a private chef and the most amazing guide, Joyce. The porters are the most awe inspiring people, they do the whole hike, with insanely heavy bags all with a smile on their face. Our team of porters were led by the amazing Luis. I really cannot put into words how incredible they are. I sadly struggle with coeliac disease. This has proved challenging in South America, I was reticent beginning a hike where the risk of me getting sick was potentially high. Man, was I wrong. Our chef, Sergio, was utterly phenomenal. I never once got glutened, he prepared all my food separately and safely. I woke up to breakfasts of crepes filled with chicken and veg and banana pancakes with chocolate (even on the day where we woke up at 4:30am). ALL GLUTEN FREE and with an obvious focus on nutrition needed to provide energy for walking! On the final day Sergio even prepared me a gluten free cake. Genuinely the best, safest food I had all holiday. They handled my food restrictions brilliantly, thank you Sergio. Finally, Joyce. We were all rather emotional when it came time to say final goodbyes. Joyce was smiley, friendly, laughed at our jokes and put up with our music the whole hike. We ended up doing the first day slightly too quick and got to lunch before our porters so he let us do an extra little summit (4372m) which gave us great views. He let us walk at whatever speed we felt comfortable and was so knowledgeable and interesting, I feel I understand Peru and the different cultures so much better as a result of my conversations with Joyce. We will miss group meals and our card games with you Joyce!! All in all, Alpaca organised an amazing expedition with the most amazing team. Memories we will treasure for life. Thank you!

Wonderful Experience

We did the 2 day Inca Trail hike with camping, and had an amazing experience. Jean Carlo (JC) was our guide and he was brilliant. He was super accommodating of a group with different capabilities, explained everything in detail and had great energy and positive attitude throughout the trek. The food was also delicious! It was a truly memorable experience, made better by JC and the wider chef/porter team.

Short Inka Trail - Camping

Had a blast, the views were amazing and Machu Picchu exceeded its reputation. Jean Carlo was an excellent tour guide. Will be recommending this exact trip to my siblings who want to see Machu Picchu.
