What a trip!!
First time booking with Alpaca Expeditions (Machu Picchu) and honestly can't recommend them enough. During the booking process they were very helpful and made recommendations that worked very well. They were exceptionally well organised, both before and during the tour, making sure everything went smoothly and informing at all stages which was really reassuring to me as a solo traveller.
The tour itself of Machu Picchu was amazing, the highlight of my trip to Peru so far, my guide Javier was incredibly knowledgeable about the site and the history of the incas. Plus he knew where all the best spots for photos were!! I didnt feel rushed at all, Javier was very easy going, and it was an excellent tour. Looking forward to doing the rainbow mountain with Alpaca later this week and hope to be back one day to do the inca trail. Would use again without hesitation.
Spectacular vistas, adventure with extraordinary guide and porter support.
This was a father-son trip of a lifetime. I couldn’t be happier with the route (which is challenging) for scenery and history, or the guide and support staff. There were 7 hikers in our trip, including my son and I, who were supported by an superbly dedicated and knowledgeable guide, 14 truly amazing porters (who just to watch in action was priceless), and and excellent camp chef.
Trip of a lifetime
This really was the experience of a lifetime and David made sure that we got the most out of it. He knew where to take the best pictures and took pictures for everyone in the group. David was obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about his culture and country. I can’t recommend this tour enough, and would tell people to request David as their guide if possible. Thanks for making this trip so memorable, David.
Best experience and tour
We had an incredible experience with alpaca expeditions. Guides were professional, food was the best food we have had our whole trip and the walk was full of different environments with the guys giving beautiful cultural experiences as well. Sergio and Yeferi our guides truly made our experience. With so much knowledge and energy and laughter brought to every day. This trip is challenging but you can go at your own pace and the guides are very supportive in ensuring everyone is able to achieve the hike.
Best Trek of Our Lives!
It was my partner’s dream for a long time to hike the Inca trail. We started talking about doing it last winter and bought our flight tickets once we were able to confirm with Alpaca Expeditions for our dates in July. We had a phenomenal team of guides (Jimmy and Hans), wonderful team of porters led by Samuel. The chef, Mijael definitely wowed us the entire meals. We wouldn’t trade this experience for anything else. Hans exceeded our expectations as we were a Deaf couple, and Hans used whiteboard to communicate with us. It was overall an inclusive experience! 10/10 would do it again with them!
