Por supuesto. A lo largo del camino hay muchas oportunidades de parar en una instalación cuando la naturaleza llama. Al principio de la caminata, las instalaciones sanitarias están gestionadas por los lugareños y hay que pagar para utilizarlas. Una suela le permitirá entrar y los baños suelen estar limpios.
Para cuando deje de comer el primer día, notará que las condiciones de los baños empiezan a deteriorarse. Ya no tendrás que pagar por las instalaciones, pero tendrás que lidiar con montones de pañuelos sucios. Cuanto más tarde en el día utilices la instalación, peores serán las condiciones.
Todos los aseos están ocupados y no se permite tirar de papel -lo cual está bien, ya que rara vez te ofrecen papel-, pero asegúrate de llevar algo encima. A menudo hay papeleras en el baño en las que debes dejar el papel sucio. Los baños no se limpian con regularidad y el papel se acumula rápidamente. Una vez llenos, la gente empieza a tirar los pañuelos en cualquier lugar del suelo, donde acaban amontonándose alrededor de donde se supone que tienes los pies.

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.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience
If I could give Reuben 100 stars I would!!!! I can’t recommend him specifically and Alpaca Expeditions enough! He took my fiance and I from the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu and explained everything along the way. His charismatic nature, expansive knowledge and passion about the history of the Inka and Peru is evident from the moment you meet him, making it feel like a friend is guiding you on your journey and at the end of our trip we truly were friends! You cannot do better than Reuben and Alpaca Expeditions!!
Top of the List Experience
We did the 2 day Inca Trail hike – our guide Sabi was amazing! Absolutely stunning experience. Very much worth the effort. Mother Nature did not cooperate on day 1, but it was still well worth it! Day 2 was Machu Picchu and a hike to the top of Huayna Picchu mountain. More amazing than you can imagine! Sabi accommodated everyone in our group and took very good care of us. He told so much history and was very educational.
Absolute must do!
Sabino our tour guide was extremely helpful and shared so much useful and interesting information. He carried my sister’s day pack for the whole first day of the trail when she wasn’t feeling well and supplied her with medications and natural remedies to make her feel better. He let my family and I do the trail at our own pace, making sure we stopped when we needed to rest and rehydrate. Sabi also knew all of the great photo op spots and was an excellent photographer for us. We had so much fun and would recommend!!!
Best of the best!
We had an unforgettable amazing experience on our 2 day tour to Machu Picchu. It was physically demanding, and the weather wasn’t always great, but the reward was worth it a thousand times over. Sabi was our guide, and he handled any challenging situation with empathy and aids to improve (e.g., mild altitude sickness for one in our party). This was a big trip and we are so grateful for the awesome memories!!!
Very impressed
Our experience with Alpaca travels was nothing but good. We couldn’t make our original trekking so they were very cooperative to change our itinerary so that we could make Machu Picchu. Carlos was a great help all the way through. Our guide David Condor was perfect. Very passionate about all the sights we visited. Very knowledgeable. Also he managed the group perfect getting everyone on time in a proper way to their tours.
