10/10 4D/3N Inca Trail Experience!!

Ismael and Félix were some of the best guides I’ve ever had. They were knowledgeable, kind, and supportive, and were always helpful and funny in effort to make us have the best time possible. I could not have asked for a better trip!

David is the best

Our guide was David Condori Villanueva for the tour of the Sacred Valley - he was amazing. Funny, knowledgable, informative and patient, everything you could possibly want from a tour leader!

Could not recommend more.

Incredible experience over the 4 day hike, worth every penny. The group size was just the right amount, not too small and not too large. Fortunately everyone in my group got along amazingly. Our tour guides Ivan and Humberto were fabulous, super knowledgeable and consistently kept moral high. The food was incredible and there was so much choice and plenty of it, hats off to our Chef Sebastian. The Chaskis are mind blowing how they carry everything for you, all super friendly and happy. Nothing is ever too much for them. I would highly recommend booking your tours with Alpaca Expeditions, professional, caring and treat everyone like family.

Best experience I could have ever hoped for!

This was truly the experience of a lifetime. I booked this trek having no idea how much planning would go into it, but Alpaca was there with me to help every step of the way. Once the tour began, guides Ismael and Felix were incredible. They motivated us, taught us, and took care of us. My mother and sister were actually doing another Alpaca tour at the same time, and they managed to coordinate it all so that we could meet at Machu Picchu at the same time. And when it got cloudy on our arrival at Machu Picchu, Ismael pivoted to move things around to make sure we could get our iconic pics once the sun came out. And the chef and porters were out of this world. Alpaca goes way above and beyond to make sure it’s not just a tour, it is a once in a lifetime experience. Could not recommend them more!

5 star review, day tour of cusco with Reynaldo

Reynaldo shared his knowledge and love of Cusco and took us on an amazing tour. The pacing was great considering we arrived yesterday evening and were moving a bit slowly.

Quite simply the coolest thing I've ever done. Our guide Hans was great. The porters were great. The food was great. The only thing more I could have asked for would have been a better sleeping bag.

The Inca Trail with Alpaca was fantastic. Our guides Frank & Macros were amazing. The food was unbelievable and lots of it to fuel the hikes. It was very well organised and meant the only challenge left for us was the hike itself!

Went on a 3 night/4 days inka trail hike with the best guides Juan Carlos Zuloaga and Emerson. It was an absolute amazing experience! The guides, the porters and the chef were all so nice and made an incredible job. The chef Mijael made the best food! Recommend to hire air mattresses as the tents are placed on hard surfaces.

We went on the 2 day short Inca trail and had the most amazing time. This was an engagement celebration and our tour guide, Luz made it unforgettable! Her knowledge of the history of the Incan empire and flora and fauna of Peru is unparalleled. Luz made us laugh along the entire trail which kept our spirits high when we entered some areas of steep incline, and she’s a fabulous photographer!! We cannot recommend her enough Thank you, Luz, for making our experience once in a lifetime! —— Hicimos el Camino Inca corto de 2 días y la pasamos increíble! Fue nuestro viaje para celebrar el compromiso, y nuestra guía, Luz, lo hizo inolvidable. Sabe muchísimo sobre la historia del Imperio Inca y sobre la flora y fauna del Perú. Nos hizo reír durante todo el camino y además es una fotógrafa espectacular! La recomendamos al 100%. Gracias, Luz, por regalarnos una experiencia única e irrepetible!

It’s an excellent service for those looking to hike the Inca Trail. The food blew away my expectations, the porters were kind and efficient, and the guides made the whole experience special. Shoutout to Frank and Marcos. They shared their deep love and respect for the land and Quechua culture with us while managing all of the logistics of a complicated trip. 10/10 would recommend.

Could have been Disastrous

Visiting Machu Picchu has been a dream of mine since I was a child. My wife and I are both in great shape, had trained hard, came early and felt fully prepared for the trek. Despite all our careful precautions, altitude sickness hit me hard on the very first day. By the time I reached camp, I was exhausted and dehydrated, but I was so deeply grateful for the incredible support of our guides and our wonderful group—we truly had the best group in the world (a special shoutout and thank you again, Jon!). On the morning of the second day, it was determined that for my health and safety, it would be best if I did not continue. While we were sad to say goodbye to our new friends and head back down the mountain, that is when the company truly showed its greatness. Ro Ro arranged for Marcus, one of their fantastic guides (along with a porter), to accompany us back down. What could have been a disappointing turn of events transformed into an unforgettable adventure. Marcus stayed with us for the rest of the trip, becoming not just our guide, but a true friend. We made lifelong memories on this alternative route, and for the outstanding care, flexibility, and kindness we received, we couldn't be more thankful. Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you never planned for!

The hike of a lifetime

Unfortunately we were not able to do the traditional Inca trail due to adverse weather conditions. However, the replacement hike and short Inca trail that Alpaca were able create a hike/trail for us at very short notice. I wanted to say an enormous thank you to Sergio and Luis and their team for helping make this trip so special to all of us. The food was incredible and our experience would not have been made possible if it wasn’t for their amazing hospitality. But the biggest thank you can only go to one person. Joyce, you were unbelievable for our entire expedition. You gave us the answer to every question no matter how stupid some of them were. You became part of our family and made the trip perfect for all of us. I know that every single one of us from our group will treasure the memories you brought us for the rest of our lives. Finally I wanted to say, Sulpayki, wawqiykuna panaykuna, kay viajepi kuska purisqanchikrayku. ❤️❤️

An amazing treck to the greatest of the Incan sights.

We had an absolutely amazing treck despite the itinerary being changed due to unprecedented weather. The new route was amazing made all the better by having such a knowledgeable and amazing guide in Joyce who explained all the sites that we wondered through and the history around them. We had some amazing food courtesy of Sergio who cooked amazing food for me and made sure my nut allergy was very well cared for. Thank you for such an amazing time.

Incredible hike with Joyce

I had the pleasure of doing this hike on 22-25th august. Due to weather we ended up not able to do the full Inca trail so alpaca created a new route for us to do, finishing with the short Inca trail. The hike itself was gorgeous, we had great weather and the views were out of this world. What really made the hike was the incredible team we were given. We had 8 porters, a private chef and the most amazing guide, Joyce. The porters are the most awe inspiring people, they do the whole hike, with insanely heavy bags all with a smile on their face. Our team of porters were led by the amazing Luis. I really cannot put into words how incredible they are. I sadly struggle with coeliac disease. This has proved challenging in South America, I was reticent beginning a hike where the risk of me getting sick was potentially high. Man, was I wrong. Our chef, Sergio, was utterly phenomenal. I never once got glutened, he prepared all my food separately and safely. I woke up to breakfasts of crepes filled with chicken and veg and banana pancakes with chocolate (even on the day where we woke up at 4:30am). ALL GLUTEN FREE and with an obvious focus on nutrition needed to provide energy for walking! On the final day Sergio even prepared me a gluten free cake. Genuinely the best, safest food I had all holiday. They handled my food restrictions brilliantly, thank you Sergio. Finally, Joyce. We were all rather emotional when it came time to say final goodbyes. Joyce was smiley, friendly, laughed at our jokes and put up with our music the whole hike. We ended up doing the first day slightly too quick and got to lunch before our porters so he let us do an extra little summit (4372m) which gave us great views. He let us walk at whatever speed we felt comfortable and was so knowledgeable and interesting, I feel I understand Peru and the different cultures so much better as a result of my conversations with Joyce. We will miss group meals and our card games with you Joyce!! All in all, Alpaca organised an amazing expedition with the most amazing team. Memories we will treasure for life. Thank you!

Wonderful Experience

We did the 2 day Inca Trail hike with camping, and had an amazing experience. Jean Carlo (JC) was our guide and he was brilliant. He was super accommodating of a group with different capabilities, explained everything in detail and had great energy and positive attitude throughout the trek. The food was also delicious! It was a truly memorable experience, made better by JC and the wider chef/porter team.

Short Inka Trail - Camping

Had a blast, the views were amazing and Machu Picchu exceeded its reputation. Jean Carlo was an excellent tour guide. Will be recommending this exact trip to my siblings who want to see Machu Picchu.

2 day Inca trail experience

Herlin was our guide for the two day Inca trail hike. He was exceptionally patient and friendly, as we had some people in the group who were slower or struggling on steep parts of the trail. He was very flexible and accommodating when we fell behind the expected pace, and was positive. I’d love to do another hike with Herlin in the future!
