Equality Matters

In these days of women’s empowerment around the world, Peru has fallen very short when it came to empowering Peru women. Especially in our villages and poorer areas, Peru women have been traditionally expected to be quiet and obedient. Peru Women are generally less educated, expected to marry young and raise their children. Very sadly […]

7 day 6 night Salkantay Inca trail trek.

I completed the 7day 6 night Salkantay and Inca trail trek. Brandon was an amazing guide with Alpaca Tours. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and communicated well. He understood the needs of each of us in the group to make sure we all had a safe and enjoyable trek. Our Chef German and his Sous chef were amazing. Each meal was elaborately cooked and tasted fantastic, I can not say enough about the food. Our porters did an excellent job seeing to our needs and getting our camp set up quickly. I highly, highly recommend booking with Alpaca and asking for Brandon and German to run your trek.

A wonderful experience that will stay forever with us

Everything was perfect. Thanks to the whole staff (porters, cook and guides), we could enjoy totally our 4 days.
We get great information about Inka/quetschua culture. The 3 guides Bernie, reynaldo and kenyo provides us a lot of information and adapt themselves to each team member.

I highly recommend this trip. It was the first time for me and my family and I am totally enthusiastic about it.
Alpaca is also an entreprise that is focused a lot on local staff - which is fantastic

My advise : do not hesitate and enjoy this trip!

Once in a lifetime trip

Amazing experience, with stunning views and excellent food. Our wonderful guides Sergio and Isaac were incredibly knowledgeable about history and culture, offered tons of practical advice, and were constantly looking out for us and made sure we were all happy and healthy—can’t thank them enough. Logistics were seamless and everything was taken care of, it was very easy to just relax and enjoy.

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.
