WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
In Tripadvisor
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.
Lucio Alpaca Expeditiobs
Lucio was a magnificent guide, so supportive, encouraging & knowledgeable. Easy to communicate with - English, Spanish no worries. Made you feel comfortable. Julio & crews food was exceptional. Very highly recommended 👌
An unforgettable Inca Trail experience, worth every single step!
We completed the 4-day, 3-night Inca Trail with Alpaca Expeditions, and it was one of the best experiences of our lives. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized, and we always felt like we were in the best hands.
Our guides, Javier and Emerson, were absolutely amazing. They were knowledgeable, funny, passionate, and always made sure everyone in the group was doing well. They shared so much interesting information about the history, culture, and nature along the trail, while also keeping the atmosphere fun and motivating. They took perfect care of us throughout the entire trek, and we couldn’t have asked for better guides.
A huge thank you also goes to our chef, Sebastian. Every single day he prepared multiple delicious meals that completely exceeded our expectations. We were truly spoiled with incredible food, and it’s hard to believe what he was able to cook in the middle of the mountains!
The equipment carried and set up by the porters was excellent. Everything was clean, well organized, and always ready when we arrived at camp. The entire team worked incredibly hard and made the experience comfortable from beginning to end.
The hike itself was fantastic. Day 1 was a great warm-up, Day 2 was definitely challenging, but reaching the two mountain passes and enjoying the breathtaking views made every step worthwhile. Day 3 was much easier and gave us time to fully appreciate the beautiful surroundings. Then on Day 4, walking through the Sun Gate and seeing Machu Picchu appear in front of us was simply magical. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable journey.
We would choose Alpaca Expeditions again without hesitation. It was absolutely worth it and far more rewarding than simply taking the train.
Highly recommended!
Best Regards Luca & Lea :)
The best experience ever
This was one of the best and challenging hiking trails I’ve done . We had the best guide Rodrigo and motivated us throughout the trail
Book Now!!!
It was beyond my expectations. Our guide Nilton was so knowledgeable in all things Inca and the health and wellbeing of his hikers. The food the was set up and offered during our hike was superior along with hotels and restaurants that were included. I would recommend this company to anyone one ask.
Great experience
We are so happy we booked our Salkantay trek with Alpaca Expeditions. The logistics were so well organised and the staff - our guide Wilbert and our cooks Avelino and Eusebia - were absolutely amazing! Wilbert had so much knowledge of the local area and taught us a lot about the geography and history of the places we visited. He allowed us to go at our own pace and supported us the whole way through.
The hike is not an easy hike due to the altitude and the elevation, so you need to be in good physical condition and acclimatised to the altitude. Some sections are also narrow with steep drop offs and the trail was affected by land slides in some areas. It made me feel safer knowing our guide knew the trail very well and had oxygen in case of an emergency.
