Inka Trail-4 day/3 nights

Our 4 day/3 night Inka Trail with Alpaca Expeditions on September 17th-20th was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was taken care of. The guides Javier and Wilber were very knowledgeable, helpful and a lot of fun. The food was fantastic. The porters were top notch and always had everything set up when we got to camp. We were very taken care of.
The scenery is stunningly beautiful making every step along a very difficult hike well worth it.
I would highly recommend Alpaca Expeditions.

A very happy camper

Alpaca expeditions is very organized, thorough and service oriented. The way they spilt up the trail was a perfect way to warm us up for surviving Dead Woman’s Pass and giving us time to cool down to be able to enjoy arriving to the sun gate.
My three friend and I were fortunate to have been assigned to a group of lively friendly and courageous hikers. Our guide, Javier was a great fit with a perfect balance of efficiency and fun. Great sense of humor and full of good information about Inka history. The food was excellent! Alex, the chef, fed us like royalty and there was always more than enough food.
Thank you for many wonderful memories!

Just completed the 4 day Inca Trek. It was an amazing experience and Alpaca were excellent and highly recommended. Huge thanks to our guides Pillco and Brandon who couldn’t have done more and the porters and chef Gregorio for the wonderful food.

The most amazing experience. The Lares trek took us over an incredible mountain pass between two villages. We stopped along the way to learn about the Inka and see demonstrations. It felt both fun and meaningful. The food cooked by Teofilo and Valentina was absolutely amazing 4-course meals and it was so nice having horses carry our items and the tent set-up for us. Besides hiking, We went to hot springs, Maras salt mines, and Machu Picchu. Jose Santos was the most amazing, caring, good human. Beyond the information he shared, he was a good friend.

What an incredible experience where every need is taken care of along the trail. The guides, the porters and the chef are all amazing at making this trip a once in a lifetime trip. The food is not what you would ever expect for camping. 5 star meals for every meals. Of course machupichu is spectacular but if just ride the bus up instead of hike the trail you miss so many other incredible inca establishments. Highly 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!

Really good hike with reynaldo & Ingrid. Great to see machu pichu from the sun gate and descend towards the city with thunder clouds in the distance. Beautiful.

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!
