Great Family Adventure

We did the Inca Trail, four days, three nights with my husband and two teenage children and had an amazing experience. The food was fantastic and accommodating for allergies and the guides were Elisban and Isaac and were so informative about inkan culture and nature. Highly recommend alpaca expeditions to anyone!

An Unforgettable Trip with Exceptional Service

We were really impressed by how wonderfully organized everything was by Rolando and Carlos. They were always there exactly where we needed them, whether at the Ollantaytambo train station or the bus transfer location in Cusco. They are incredibly professional and truly take care of everyone throughout the trip.

We also learned so much from them. They shared fascinating stories and information about the history, nature, and everything we were seeing along the way, which made the experience even more enjoyable and meaningful.

We have thoroughly enjoyed the trip and truly appreciate all the wonderful service and care you have provided. Thank you very much, Rolando and Carlos, for making this such a memorable experience!

Excellent Experience from Start to Finish!

We had an amazing experience with this company. Everything was exceptionally well organized, from answering all our questions and providing helpful packing and preparation advice, to arranging the airport pickup. Communication was always clear, timely, and reliable, which made the entire trip smooth and stress-free.

Our guides were very experienced, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the trek. Rolando was especially passionate about Inca history, and we learned so much from him along the way. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more meaningful and enjoyable. Carlos, our assistant guide, was also wonderful — he was so friendly, patient, and always had a smile on his face. Both of them made us feel well taken care of and comfortable throughout the journey.

The food was also amazing, with a great balance of nutrition and flavor, and thoughtfully prepared to meet the demands of high-altitude trekking.

We would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a high-altitude trek!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable Inca Trail experience with Alpaca Expeditions

We had an absolutely incredible experience hiking the Inca Trail with Alpaca Expeditions, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience.

Our main guide, Rolando, was exceptional. His passion for what he does, the mountains and the history of the Inca Trail really came through. He shared so much knowledge along the way, but what made him stand out was the genuine enthusiasm he had for the trail. You could tell that this was much more than just a job for him, and that passion made the experience even more special.

Our second guide, Carlos, was also fantastic. He was an excellent pacer and made sure that everyone was comfortable and doing okay throughout the trek. Both guides were incredibly attentive, particularly when it came to the slower members of the group. Nobody was left behind, and we always felt supported.

And then there was our chef, Armando! The food was EXCELLENT. We honestly couldn't believe the variety and the amount of effort that went into every meal. The presentation was amazing, but more importantly, the food tasted just as good as it looked. After a long day of hiking, having such delicious and beautifully prepared meals was a real highlight.

Everything was incredibly well organised, from the logistics to the guides, food and camps. We always felt that we were in good hands.

Another major reason we chose Alpaca Expeditions was because they are a Peruvian-owned company and have projects that support local communities. We particularly liked their women's empowerment project, which helps women become guides, porters and chefs. Knowing that our money was supporting these initiatives made choosing the company even more meaningful.

Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, made even better by an incredible team. Rolando, Carlos and Armando were fantastic, and we are so grateful for all the hard work that went into making our Inca Trail trek so special.

I would 100% recommend Alpaca Expeditions to anyone considering the Inca Trail. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! 🦙🏔️❤️

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.
