An unforgettable Inca Trail experience, worth every single step!
We completed the 4-day, 3-night Inca Trail with Alpaca Expeditions, and it was one of the best experiences of our lives. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized, and we always felt like we were in the best hands.
Our guides, Javier and Emerson, were absolutely amazing. They were knowledgeable, funny, passionate, and always made sure everyone in the group was doing well. They shared so much interesting information about the history, culture, and nature along the trail, while also keeping the atmosphere fun and motivating. They took perfect care of us throughout the entire trek, and we couldn’t have asked for better guides.
A huge thank you also goes to our chef, Sebastian. Every single day he prepared multiple delicious meals that completely exceeded our expectations. We were truly spoiled with incredible food, and it’s hard to believe what he was able to cook in the middle of the mountains!
The equipment carried and set up by the porters was excellent. Everything was clean, well organized, and always ready when we arrived at camp. The entire team worked incredibly hard and made the experience comfortable from beginning to end.
The hike itself was fantastic. Day 1 was a great warm-up, Day 2 was definitely challenging, but reaching the two mountain passes and enjoying the breathtaking views made every step worthwhile. Day 3 was much easier and gave us time to fully appreciate the beautiful surroundings. Then on Day 4, walking through the Sun Gate and seeing Machu Picchu appear in front of us was simply magical. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable journey.
We would choose Alpaca Expeditions again without hesitation. It was absolutely worth it and far more rewarding than simply taking the train.
Highly recommended!
Best Regards Luca & Lea :)
The best experience ever

It was beyond my expectations. Our guide Nilton was so knowledgeable in all things Inca and the health and wellbeing of his hikers. The food the was set up and offered during our hike was superior along with hotels and restaurants that were included. I would recommend this company to anyone one ask.
Great experience
We are so happy we booked our Salkantay trek with Alpaca Expeditions. The logistics were so well organised and the staff - our guide Wilbert and our cooks Avelino and Eusebia - were absolutely amazing! Wilbert had so much knowledge of the local area and taught us a lot about the geography and history of the places we visited. He allowed us to go at our own pace and supported us the whole way through.
The hike is not an easy hike due to the altitude and the elevation, so you need to be in good physical condition and acclimatised to the altitude. Some sections are also narrow with steep drop offs and the trail was affected by land slides in some areas. It made me feel safer knowing our guide knew the trail very well and had oxygen in case of an emergency.
