Comfortable, attentive and professional
Carlos Arqque was the perfect guide for our group. He kept spirits high, had a great sense of humour and was also very punctual and great at keeping us motivated and keeping us on schedule, without being too pushy. As well as this, the porters were incredible. They had superhuman strength, agility and speed as they trekked the trail faster than the groups and made sure everything was set up for us before we arrive. The chef was also 5 stars, very delicious and fresh food provided throughout which is really impressive considering we were up in the mountains the whole time. Overall, 10/10 experience with alpaca expeditions and I'd highly recommend to anyone considering the Inca trail.
Short Inca Trail
Everything was very well organized. Elias was very kind, patient, and knowledgeable, and shared a lot of interesting information with us. Daniel prepared a delicious lunch. Overall, a wonderful experience! Highly recommended.
Life changing incredible hike!
The experience with Alpaca Expeditions was life changing! Absolute value for money and our expectations were far exceeded. Alex our guide was the most knowledgeable, informative guide that we have ever ever come across and we have travelled to many different countries! We learnt so much and we were looked after the whole way. Our teens were lucky enough to experience this incredible trip and it was Aloaca Expeditions that made the whole experience so easy and truly worth while! We would 1000% recommend this local company for the very best experience ever! Machu Picchu was amazing but it was definitely the hike that made the whole experience so worthwhile! All staff were professional and made this trip life changing! Thank you Aloaca. We will recommend you to everyone!!!
Alpaca delivered!!
Alpaca delivered!! Bernie was an exceptional head guide and supported by Roger and Marco to cover any gaps in service while on the trail. Sergio, our chef, did an excellent job keeping us fed while on the trail. Max our head porter was a great operator and a logistical genius. During our trip Bernie was constantly making adjustments to maximize client comfort, experience and education. Many thanks to Alpaca for such a great experience.
Joyce and Darwin made my 2-day Inca Trail unforgettable
I did the 2-day Inca Trail solo with Alpaca Expeditions, and my guide Joyce was a huge part of what made it such an incredible experience. He was super kind from the moment we met, and his knowledge of Inca history, the ruins, and the landscape brought every part of the trail to life. I learned so much more than I ever could have on my own. Joyce was also wonderfully encouraging. Whenever the climb got tough, he was there with a positive word to keep me going, and his great sense of humor had me laughing the whole way. Traveling solo, I really appreciated that he always put my safety first, checking in on me and making sure I felt confident and cared for the entire time. A big thank you as well to my porter, Darwin, who worked so hard behind the scenes. His help and support made the trek so much easier and let me fully enjoy every moment on the trail. If you're booking with Alpaca Expeditions, I can't recommend Joyce and Darwin enough. Thank you both for making my journey to Machu Picchu so special!
