Unrivaled experience

We did the 5D/4N Classic Inca trek with Raul and Emerson and we cannot recommend it enough! We can’t imagine coming all this way to only visit Machu Picchu via train/bus and miss all the best parts of the trek. Alpaca Expeditions made the whole trek feel safe, approachable, and extraordinary for a variety of ages and speeds. Machu Picchu itself was amazing, but trekking was the star of the show with some unbelievable sights, unforgettable memories, and incredible people. I should also note it felt like Alpaca Expeditions felt like it stood head and shoulders above the competition with how our guides/porters were treated—specifically, they seemed much happier, appropriately rested/fed, and much better equipped with proper footwear. Also, there was appropriate adherence to weight restrictions for the porters. 100% recommend and would do all over again.

Fantastic experience!!

We had a fantastic 2-day Inca Trail experience with Alpaca Expeditions. Our guides were excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and very supportive throughout the trek. Everything was well organized, from transportation and meals to the hike itself. The entire team went above and beyond to make our experience memorable.
Highly recommended! Thank you, Alpaca Expeditions, for an unforgettable adventure!

A natural high

The Inca Trail was a great experience that we enjoyed with family.
The scenery was stunning, the historic sites incredible and the Alpaca Expeditions team were fantastic. The work ethic of the porters was amazing. Our guide Raul provided sound leadership and information throughout the 4 days hike.
I certainly recommend doing this hike if you have the opportunity.

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.
