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.
Beautiful trek, delicious foods, and kind guides
Wonderful experience. Our guide Fernando was very knowledgeable about the area and answered all of our questions thoroughly. He also was able to modify our itinerary based on the physical abilities of my family. Marcelino was an amazing chef and baked a cake for my parents' anniversary. Crisostomo was kind and a wonderful addition to our trip in helping serve as Marcelino's assistant.
2 day / 1 night Machu Picchu trek
We had a wonderful experience on our short 2day/1ight Inca trek with camping. Valentin, our tour guide, was excellent. He paced the group excellently, gave us clear guidance on how the days would go and answered all questions.
The food was a real highlight, many thanks to Soledad for her hard work.
Thanks to our porters too who made our journey so enjoyable by having everything set up when we arrived at camp especially providing added comforts like hot water on arrival to the camp site. It was much needed! 💕🇵🇪
An Unforgettable Inca Trail Experience
We had an unforgettable experience on the 4-day, 3-night Inca Trail. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Peru.
A huge thank you to our main guide, Saul G., who was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and passionate throughout the entire trek. His understanding of Inca history, culture, and archaeology was outstanding, and he always took the time to explain everything in an engaging and interesting way. On top of that, he has a great sense of humor and created such a fun and positive atmosphere for the whole group, making every day even more enjoyable.
We also want to thank Humberto, our assistant guide, who was always kind, supportive, and encouraging. Together, they made an amazing team and ensured that everyone felt safe, motivated, and well taken care of from start to finish.
A big thank you as well to the incredible porters and the chef, whose hard work, delicious meals, and constant smiles made this journey even more special.
We couldn't have asked for a better team. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Peru!
Once in a lifetime experience highly recommend
Once in a lifetime experience. Our guides Alvin and Johan were fantastic and very knowledgeable about all of the Inka sites and culture. The guide Alvin really made us all feel like family. Food by the chef Armando was delicious and catered to my dietary requirements with no problems. Big thank you to the porters as well for carrying extra clothing and all of the tents/ bedding for the trip. The tour ended walking through the sun gate and into Maccu Picchu which was truly amazing plus then a guided tour through the site before a final lunch in town and train ride to Ollantaytambo. The Alpaca team was wonderfully organised and I would recommend this experience highly to everyone.
Incredible trek through the Andes to Machu Picchu
Had an amazing time in the Andes visiting archeological sites along the inca trail! The mountain views were breath taking and I didn't want to trip to end. Food was very good and everything was very well organized and ready promptly.
