WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
In Tripadvisor
Great trip with Alpaca Expeditions! Guide Hans, our cook Octavio, porter Jose and horseman Carlos combined to make an unforgettable experience. The views from our camps were remarkable and the food Octavio provided was excellent—you won’t lose weight on this trip! Choquequirao was amazing to see and the absolute lack of crowds was a pleasure. Highly recommended!
My private 5-day, 4-night Inca Trail trek with Alpaca Expeditions was absolutely incredible and exceeded every expectation!
Raul and Umberto were phenomenal guides!!! knowledgeable, passionate, attentive, and genuinely wonderful people who made every moment special. Our chefs, Herman and Raul #2, were unbelievable! The quality and creativity of the meals they prepared in the middle of the Andes blew me away.
But I especially want to recognize the PORTERS!!! The true heroes of this experience! I was absolutely amazed and humbled by their incredible strength, tireless work ethic, and dedication. Watching them navigate challenging mountain terrain carrying heavy loads, only to arrive ahead of me with everything perfectly prepared, was nothing short of extraordinary. Their hard work, kindness, and positive attitudes deserve the utmost respect and recognition.
Machu Picchu was breathtaking, A heartfelt THANK YOU to the entire team for an experience of a lifetime.
Five stars simply aren’t enough! I cannot recommend Alpaca Expeditions and the LUXURY HIKE enough! 🇵🇪🏔️❤️
Wilber Ocon and Meliton Torres were amazing guides for our Inca Trek experience! They supported us through the hard sections of the hike and provided everything we needed. I’d recommend this experience to anyone!

Amazing experience of Sacred Valley with Alpaca Expeditions
Our tour of the Sacred Valley with David Condori Villanueva was absolutely fantastic! David was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and we learnt a huge amount about Inca culture. The tour itself took in many different Inca sites as well as a delicious lunch and a stop at an Alpaca/Llama sanctuary. I would highly recommend to anyone doing a single day tour of the sacred valley!
New friends, unforgettable memories and connection with Pachamama!
Some memories pass like distant memories but others embed themselves in you! This one is not going anywhere anytime soon. As a solo traveller whom has travelled the world this was one of the best tours i have ever done! Well organised and executed from booking through to departure. Our guides were exceptional and so knowledgable! Gracias Ivan and Raymundo not to mention the incredible chasces and chefs - the food was to die for! Honestly it exceeded my expectations. Dont hesistate to book its worth every $$ Expect sore knees and sweaty backs but endless laughs, knowing that you will be supported all the way through. Thanks team, and thank you pachamama for welcoming us with clesr skies. You are greatly appreciated! 🫶
Excellent Inca Trail Experience – Perfectly Paced, Beautifully Supported & Truly Worth It
Overall Experience This was an excellent, well-rounded trek that delivered everything I was hoping for and much more. The trail is honestly extremely well kept, with countless scenic spots for photos, quiet moments with nature, and a real sense of the Inca people and what they built. The distance and daily pace are thoughtfully planned—this becomes pretty obvious once you’re on it, because nothing ever felt rushed. The guides regularly encouraged our group to slow down and take it all in, which speaks to how a pretty broad range of experience levels can easily complete and enjoy this trail. For me personally, with no prior trekking experience, it was challenging but nowhere near extreme. An active person in decent everyday shape will enjoy it thoroughly and finish feeling very accomplished rather than depleted. Organization, Permits & Value The logistics in my experience were seamless. The company handled literally everything in terms of permits, entrance fees, and paperwork—I essentially only remember needing my passport. Camps are fully set up when you arrive, the food is always ready, and nothing ever feels like a guessing game or a disorganized scramble. The upfront cost can seem high at first, but once you’re on the trail you realize that the quality of the food, the tents, and how the whole experience comes together makes it well worth the money. At least in our group, people tipped confidently because it was clear the effort and care we were given was worth what we were paying for and more. Length of the Visit The three-to-four-day length is excellent. It’s honestly long enough to appreciate the trail and the experience without ever feeling drawn out. Fewer nights would rush the scenery. This duration hits the sweet spot in my opinion for people with no experience up to medium experience. If you have a bit more experience than the regular trekker, I’d actually encourage doing more days because it is very enjoyable. Atmosphere The atmosphere was fantastic. Our guides Ivan and Reymundo (R-E-Y-Mundo) always brought high positive energy every day. They had a deep knowledge of the route and the history—it was honestly very impressive how much information they were able to teach us and even test us on. They had a calm confidence that made me personally (and I think our entire group) feel very safe on the trail. Their storytelling, group activities, constant encouragement, and the fact that they shared every lunch with us created a really supportive and fun environment. The tea times and meal presentations added to this, turning every day into a bit of a celebration of what we’d just done and making the effort that much more enjoyable. Crowd Size Our group size was honestly ideal. It was large enough for good energy and shared stories, yet small enough that everybody actually bonded—I really mean that. Everybody in our group got to know each other, learned everybody else’s names, looked out for one another, and stayed involved. That only happens with the right size group. I don’t think anybody felt lost, left behind, or like just another face in a big crowd. The guides checking in with us individually every so often made the whole experience much more personal and enjoyable. Staff The staff as a whole is outstanding. There are no words to fully explain how impressed I am with them. They were knowledgeable, very experienced, and extremely well prepared. Ivan and Reymundo excelled at pacing our group, giving clear pacing advice, storytelling, and practical guidance on where to rest and how to approach the terrain ahead. The porters were so timely and attentive—tents were ready every single day, water was always available, and whenever I had questions (and I had many), they were answered quickly. They brought a genuinely positive attitude, even applauding the group when we started and finished days, despite doing far harder work themselves. Meeting the full team was honestly one of the highlights of the trip for me. As a side note here, this was my first time trekking and using poles. Our guides corrected me something like twelve times on the length of the poles, especially in the first half-day. I was learning as I went, and their attentiveness on something that small made a real difference. It’s exactly the kind of thing you want when you’re doing an activity like this Food The food was second only to the scenery as the biggest highlight and surprise of the entire Inca Trail. It is abundant, beautifully presented in a traditional yet elevated style, and genuinely delicious. After such long days on the trail, how good it tasted and how well it was made really re-energizes you—not just so you see the food as fuel, but so you actually look forward to the next meal and the next day. It’s well worth the investment for the food alone. Who It’s Best For In my opinion the experience can be enjoyed by all ages, families, solos, and friends. I can’t speak to young kids as we didn’t have any in our group, but we had a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and even languages, and the support level made it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Side Note (Personal) I developed a lingering knee issue on the first half-day of the trek (Dont make my mistake go into this healthy). The guides checked in constantly in the mornings and evenings, let me move at my own pace, and accommodated breaks without making it a big deal. Their experience and calm support made the problem fade into the background so I could still enjoy the trail with the group. I finished the trek and am forever grateful for how well they looked after me.
Great tour with Miguel and meals with Balberto
The trip to rainbow mountain was wonderful with Alpaca Expeditions. Miguel was knowledge and experienced on the trails and Balberto was a super chef. We enjoyed this trip!
Spectacular bucket list trip
My wife and I can thoroughly recommend the 4 day Inca trail hike with Alpaca tours. The whole trek was brilliantly organised and supported by our guides, Ivan and Ray, who brought to life the history of the Incas and their buildings in areas you can only reach on this trek. The mountain scenery is awesome, culminating in Machu Picchu, truly one of the wonders of the world. Food was great, company was great - we made memories and friends to treasure. Just make sure you're fit enough for the altitude!
