Perfect Day

We had a wonderful day exploring Cusco and the surrounding ruins. Our guide, Rinaldo, was so friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the history though art and the ruins around us. Plus Rinaldo was an excellent photographer and made sure we got all the best photos. Our driver Michael was always on time and the car was clean and comfortable.

The Inca Trail Experience We’ll Never Forget

We had a wonderful experience with Alpaca Expeditions on the 2-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The hike was great, the views were absolutely spectacular, and the food they provided along the trail was honestly out of this world. We were amazed at the quality of the meals they were able to prepare for us along the way!

Everything was extremely well organized from beginning to end. Our guide was fantastic, always attentive and making sure we were comfortable and, most importantly, that we really understood the history and significance of everything we were seeing. He made the entire experience so much more meaningful.

Walking through the Sun Gate and seeing Machu Picchu was unforgettable, but one of the best and most unexpected parts of the experience was the people we shared it with. We had such a great group and came away with new friends, which made the trip even more special.

Beautiful scenery, incredible food, a great guide, wonderful organization, and memories we will never forget. We would absolutely recommend Alpaca Expeditions!

The tale of the Super Hikers

Hiking in Peru for the first time was incredible! Our guides, Ivan and Carlos were amazing with how supportive and encouraging they were to every person in our group. They were very informative and conversational throughout, aiding in the experience of soaking up the views and understanding the history and geography of the hike. I strongly recommend these wonderful people to be your next guides on the hikes offered by Alpaca Expeditions. The chefs and porters were extremely efficient with handling meal and gear prep at our campsites. The food was prepared with abundance and the taste was excellent.
Overall the experience was what I can call transforming. Going into the trip, not knowing how I would feel, it showed that I should have had more preparation. Late in the day on a portion that took us over 14,000 ft, I was feeling increasingly tired and frustrated. Carlos offered to carry my pack along with his own, allowing me to more easily continue for the last sections of the trail. This gesture will remain one of the reasons I feel that Carlos and Ivan both are guides made of a different and better quality than many others out there.
The views were endlessly stunning, if only seeing the vast unobstructed space of the highlands. The striking peaks that hovered over the horizon were the icing on the cake.
The amount of organization and planning that go into these multi-day hikes, takes a small army of people. This team, managed by Ivan and Carlos had their work cut out for them with a recent and sudden need to rearrange the dates and routes to accommodate their group. From our side, it appears they had everything under control. I thank them for the trip. I thank them for the amazing memories they have left me.
I will return to Peru, and seek out this Mucho Awesome pair of Super Hikers to be our guides on some new adventures.

Unforgettable experience!

Absolutely amazing! The hike was inspiring and the views were breathtaking, but considering where we were, everyone can get that experience. It was the crew that really made the difference in the experience.

Ivan truly cared about our experience, his knowledge and passion was inspirational and honestly second to none. “Mucho awesome!”

Carlos was fantastic, he was there for us every step of the way and worked hard to make sure we had an experience we would never forget!

The Chefs, wow! Every meal was absolutely delicious. I can’t even comprehend how they prepared such incredible meals out there!

The Porters! These guys are incredible and truly an inspiration to be around. They worked hard to make sure our experience was perfect!

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.

Wonderful experience!!

The guides Rajl and Kenjo were just amazing and well prepared. This is just not a normal tracking, it is a cultural tracking. Raul and kenjo were well prepared and not jut provide us a safe and wonderful tracking but also teach us a lot of history and culture. The food was just amazing, thanks for Julian our chef that made delicious food including an anniversary cake in the middle of the track! An all of this was just possible thanks to the porters that carried all our lounge and tends all the time and received us every day with clapping and smiles. An unforgettable experience !

Great trip

We were detoured due to Classic Inca Trail closure. Alpaca did their best to accommodate the changes, and made our trip still worth well with alternative treks. We got a 3rd night hotel in their new property. Our main guild Raul is knowledgeable and passionate, Kenyo is super kind, always has great smile and is a great photographer. All porters and the chef did fantastic jobs with our accommodation and amazing food on the trail

Absolute 10/10 Company, People and Experience

This is the most deserving 5/5 Star review i have ever given. This trip with my family was absolutely unforgettable and the crew from the company, the guides, the porters/sherpas, chefs, food, views, experience, positive energy, love, support, and help from Alpaca was truly unbelievable. I would recommend this infinitely to everyone to go and do this. Guides Raul and Kenyo, as well as Chef Julian were so fun and amazing. Super helpful with the people in our group that were older and slower. IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE with no warning, the chef with the guides ask made our in-laws AN ENTIRE CAKE for their anniversary. Just unbelievably awesome. Amazing people and hearts.

Best trip EVER!!!!

Our 4 day Inca trail trip was interrrupted when weather and mudslides destroyed part of the Inca trail. Alpaca adventures did a great job of rearranging things and giving us an amazing 4 day adventure which ended at Machu Picchu! Juan and Kenyo were amazing tour guides. They were knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging, and a calming experience during our adventure Julian the chef surprised us for a special anniversary cake for my son and his wife baked over an open flame in the middle of the Andes mountains. The porters were hard working and gave special attention to every detail to make sure our camping experience was fabulous!! 10 out of 10 recommend the company and the entire staff for this once in a lifetime bucket list experience!!

August 27, 2026

The Best Experience!!!

Raul and Kenyo made the 4 day/3 night trip and best experience!! Lots of various terrains and temperatures.... along with a range of trails. Through it all this team of guides, porters and chefs were AMAZING providing an opportunity for all to experience the magic and wonders of the Inca Trail!

August 27, 2026

Raul & Kenyo are the best guides ever.

I am not a hiker, nor do I particularly like doing hard things. This trek was extremely difficult and even emotional at times- Raul & Kenyo made every step worth it. Their unrelenting joy, humor and kindness made me want to keep pushing and their encouragement made a world of difference for my experience. I genuinely cannot thank them enough for making this such an extraordinary trip. I am so grateful I did this trek. I’m genuinely going to miss my time with this team- including our porters and super chef Julion. I would come back just to see them again. Thank you so much for everything.

August 27, 2026

AMAZING!!!

Raul and Kenyo were amazing!! Every time my group went through a hard time, they were always there encouraging us and with a smile. The scenery was BEAUTIFUL. Raul was so knowledgeable about everything. Any question I had he answered. I would not have known anything about the Incas or Machu Picchu if it wasn’t for him. Julian was our head chef and all the food was amazing. Always warm and on time and delicious. Our porters were absolutely outstanding. Tents made perfectly, warm water, and hot tea were always prepared. Truly could not have done this without them. The company as a whole completely knocked it out of the park. So professional, and even with weather and needing to adjust everything was smooth and in order!

Best group/team ever!!

We had the most amazing experience with alpaca. Raul & Kenyo (our tour guides) were incredible and always so positive and encouraging. They made us feel safe and taught us so much Inca history throughout the hikes. My husband and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary and Julien (the head chef) surprised us with a cake in the Inca mountains. It was truly such a special experience, something I will remember forever. Our group was incredible, we all got very close and I think it’s because of how wonderful our tour guides, porters, and chefs were. I would highly highly recommend using alpaca. They were wonderful, the trip/scenery was amazing, and I am so grateful!!

Best hiking trip ever, and I’m an Eagle Scout.

I just had the most amazing adventure over the last 4 days, and I know none of it would have been possible without my amazing tour guides, kenyo and Raul!!!! A massive shoutout to our chef Julian, and our porters as well. Our guides, were so motivational every step of the way. It was definitely a challenging couple days, but the guides made it light hearted, and fun, with so much knowledge about the trails, the sites, and the Incas as well. It really felt like a real life history lesson! After doing this experience, there is no way I would ever hike machu pichu without guides, or a team again! Everyday we showed up to camp, tents made,lunch/ dinner smelling yummy, it was a massive pick me up after a long day. Safe to say this is the way to go!!

August 27, 2026

Best Group Ever

Raul & Kenyo were the best guides on the planet! Julian also made an entire cake out of the items in his pack for my wife & i’s wedding anniversary! The porter team was amazing as well! Absolutely unbelievable group.
