Once in a lifetime experience

Me and 2 friends completed the 7D/6N Salkantay + Inca trail trek and the experience will stay with me forever. The journey certainly wasn't easy; of the 12 that set off in our group, only 5 completed the full distance but if you are considering this itinerary then I would still highly recommend it. The magical first glimpse of the citadel is made so much more special by the journey. It felt like the perfect mix of stunning landscapes throughout: seclusion for most of the first 4 days, including over 5000m altitude, followed by impressive human made paths and ruins from day 5. Our guides Mr Hono & Joel were a joy to trek with and looked after us when we were run down or sick (as most of us were at one point or another!) plus the chefs and porters are absolutely superhuman in their abilities. This was my first multi-day trek and I can now say that I don't think it will be my last. The journey is the destination!

Amazing Experience!

Once in a lifetime experience! From day one we were well taken care of. Our group bonded together along with our guides, portors, and chef. As we progressed through the glorious mountains with each challenge there was support and celebrations for our achievements. A big thank you to Juan Carlos and Yadi for their attention to all the details.

Once in a lifetime experience!!

Just completed the 4 day tour. Once in a lifetime experience. Javier was an amazing guide and was very well organised. Machu Picchu was worth the hike alone but every day was amazing. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Thanks to Carlos as well!!!

From initial booking to final hotel drop off - everything with alpaca was flawless. We booked the 4D/3N Inca trail for mid September. Alpaca was always prompt in their responses to my many, many emailed questions leading up the the trek no matter how small they seemed. They truly take care of all logistical component to make the experience as smooth as possible from booking Machu Picchu entry tickets, bus tickets, train tickets, storing luggage, etc. so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guides, Javier and Carlos, were as good as they get. So knowledge about the culture and history, patient and encouraging throughout the difficult moments, and integrated seamlessly/helped a group of 16 strangers become a family. They timed everything perfectly by making sure we got to the right spots at great times to avoid many other groups, assisted with photos, etc. I was impressed by the quality (and quantity!!) of the hot, fresh breakfast, lunch, and dinner served daily! They also provided snacks in the mornings for us to take each day. The porters work SO hard and deserve every piece of recognition they get. Super kind people who made camp life so easy for us, this wouldn’t be possible without them. They really are incredible. We did consider doing a private trek, but we are so glad we chose the group option - we got to meet some of the most amazing people from all over the world and form a bond we’ll never forget. Lastly, the Inca trail itself is absolutely incredible and worth every single breathless step. Machu Picchu is amazing but the journey getting there is a very close rival. If I had to do it over again I’d 100% choose Alpaca!

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!
