Frequently asked Questions
Planning a trip to Machu Picchu can bring many questions. Below you’ll find answers about Inca Trail permits, trekking in Peru, altitude, packing, safety, and more to help you plan your adventure with confidence.
Once and a life time experience ! With the best in Peru
If you’re trying to decide which company to book for the Salkantay Trek, stop looking and book with Alpaca Expeditions. I just completed the 5-day, 4-night Salkantay Trek, and it was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life.
The biggest reason for that was our incredible guides, Caesar and Carlos.
Caesar is, without question, the best tour guide I have ever had. His knowledge of Peru, Incan history, archaeology, local traditions, culture, plants, wildlife, and the mountains themselves was absolutely incredible. Every day he shared stories and historical context that transformed the trek from just a beautiful hike into a meaningful journey through the history of Peru. By the time we reached Machu Picchu, I felt like I truly understood the significance of what I was seeing rather than simply looking at ancient ruins.
What really made Caesar exceptional, though, was the way he connected with every person in our group. He was endlessly patient, funny, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about what he does. No question ever felt too small, and he somehow knew exactly when to educate, when to motivate, and when to simply let everyone soak in the incredible scenery. Hiking at altitude isn’t easy, but Caesar made everyone feel capable and supported every step of the way. If you’re lucky enough to have Caesar as your guide, you’re in the very best hands.
Carlos was equally fantastic. He worked seamlessly alongside Caesar and was always there with a smile, encouragement, and a helping hand whenever anyone needed it. Whether it was checking on everyone’s well-being, making sure the group stayed together, or simply bringing positive energy to every day, Carlos played such an important role in making the experience unforgettable. The two of them make an incredible team, and you can tell they genuinely care about every single person on the trek.
I also cannot say enough about the chefs and porters. I genuinely don’t know how they managed to prepare such incredible meals in the middle of the mountains. Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner was beautifully presented, fresh, delicious, and far beyond anything I expected on a multi-day trek. I found myself looking forward to every meal because each one somehow topped the last. The chefs are true magicians, and the porters work unbelievably hard behind the scenes to make the entire experience possible. Their dedication deserves so much recognition and respect.
The entire trek was organized flawlessly from beginning to end. Every campsite was ready when we arrived, the equipment was excellent, the schedule was well paced, and I always felt safe and well looked after. Even the little touches throughout the trip made a huge difference.
Before this trip, I thought Machu Picchu would simply be another bucket-list destination. Instead, thanks to Caesar, Carlos, the chefs, the porters, and the entire Alpaca Expeditions team, it became one of the most meaningful and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had.
I will remember these five days for the rest of my life. Thank you, Caesar, Carlos, the chefs, the porters, and everyone at Alpaca Expeditions for creating memories I’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering hiking to Machu Picchu, I truly cannot recommend this company highly enough.
Best experience in Peru.
My husband and I booked a 2 day / 1 night Inca trail trek with Alpaca Expeditions and had an absolute blast. The best part of the trip was definitely the guides: Nilton, Benjamin Raul, and Marcos. Nilton as our lead guide was amazing. He was encouraging, gave clear instructions, and gave an extremely informative tour of Machu Picchu. Benjamin Raul and Marcos were also wonderful and made sure to take a number of pics of each person in our group, ensuring we had mementoes from our experience. There were 16 people in our group, yet the guides provided such great individual attention to us that the group felt small.
Another great perk was the food. We had lunch on the trail prepared by Alpaca’s chef and it was restaurant quality, which is unheard of on a trail in the middle of the Andes. We had so much fun on the hike and tour and will be encouraging all of our friends and family to book with Alpaca Expeditions.
Nilton is Quality
This expedition using Alpaca Tours and headed by Nilton was so good that it was as if he had only one more day, one more chance to do the very thing that he loves so much in his life. it was of that quality and level of greatness.
Best trek ever
The staff and the experience as a whole was the most well organized, enjoyable, and rewarding time. Every meal, pickup, and step on the trail was made possible by the amazing team and the cohesion they brought to the group. Samanez and Eber were the best guides possible and can’t thank them enough. Overall amazing experience.
Great experience
Fernando our guide went above and beyond, helped us when we were impacted by altitude sickness by coordinating for a horse on the following day and generally with anything we needed
