What an adventure! InterPeru!
It was a wonderful experience!! I would Definetly recommend it to everyone who loves a bit of a challenge and who enjoys nature and its beauty. At every campsite there was fluffy friends who treated you (from chicken to cat and dog.) The team was great! Everyone was always nice and if you had a problem, you could just ask them for help and they came. AND: Definetly bring enough toilet paper, it’s crucial!
The best 4 days, thank you!
The Inca trail was incredible, which is partly a testament to the Incas and their incredible architecture, buildings and mountains.
But, what made it truly special was Ivan our guide, who was an absolute legend and his love for the trek and mountains was so awesome! Exceeded my expectations!
And the team of porters were awesome, redefined hard work and humility! The food, friendliness and haste meant that the trip felt more like glamping than a 4 day hike!
One in a lifetime experience
We had an incredible time on the 4-day Inca Trail with Alpaca Expeditions! Javi and Benjamin were fantastic guide, friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and always making sure everyone was doing well. They shared so much about the history and culture, kept the group motivated, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Everything was so well organized, the food was amazing, and we felt looked after from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Javi, Benjamin, and the whole Alpaca Expeditions team!
Once in a lifetime experience!
Wow, so grateful for the opportunity to complete the Lares Trek with such an amazing group of people. Juan Carlos Zuloaga was the most amazing guide we could've asked for--he shared so much knowledge, history and culture of the region with us throughout our trek. He answered all of our groups endless questions about the flora/fauna as well. He made us feel extremely safe of the trek and warned us of possible dangers. He paced the trekking super well and gave us breaks as we needed. His tribute to Pachamama at the Condor Pass will stay with me always--Juan Carlos made us feely truly connected with the land throughout our journey.
The food was absolutely incredible, I had no idea we would be eating such fantastic and delicious meals throughout out trek, all made possible by our amazing chef Octavio!! He even made my best friend a birthday cake on our last day!! Truly, the food was an experience all on its own--we got to connect with the culture through the food we ate on another level. (you will NOT be hungry!)
Big shout out to our porters and team members as well--from setting up tents at night to ferrying our duffels to giving us warm water/warm packs at night, truly made the experience that much more enjoyable.
The trek itself is very reasonable, don't underestimate the altitude or the varying temperatures as was emphasized very clearly prior to setting out. We got so lucky with weather, not a drop of rain! This trek will have you at altitude for about 36 hours, but the difficulty of the walking and hiking is very reasonable. Practically speaking, there is a lot of coordination with driving and trains to get to Machu Picchu at the end--just be prepared to be patient!
Machu Picchu itself was amazing and we added on the Waynapicchu hike as well--pretty steep incline up and down, but also very doable! Highly recommend for the best views of Machu Picchu from above!!
Would definitely go back for one of the other treks, but only if we can go with Juan Carlos!!
Fantastic
I loved the tour it was really good and I loved it.The people in my group were excellent and my tour guides were awesome. Loved the place and view😄👍🏞️. I recommend the place!
