About Alpaca Expeditions
100% Peruvian Company

Exploring the majestic Andes is a dream for many, but doing it with the right experts turns a simple trip into the journey of a lifetime. At Alpaca Expeditions, our team of passionate guides is entirely composed of Cusco natives who grew up surrounded by these legendary landscapes. Certified in high-mountain safety and advanced first aid, they have spent years mastering iconic routes like the Inca Trail, Choquequirao, and Lares Trek.

From the moment your trek begins, our guides go above and beyond to provide a safe, enriching, and deeply personalized experience. Trilingual in English, Spanish, and Quechua, they proudly bridge the gap between travelers and local traditions, revealing hidden history, wildlife, and ancient secrets along the trail. With their warm hospitality and keen eye for stunning scenery, they ensure every moment of your journey is seamless, inspiring, and truly memorable.

Enjoy fresh, delicious, and deeply nutritious meals prepared daily in the heart of the mountains by our professional Alpaca Expeditions chefs. Born and raised in local Cusco communities, our culinary team uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients to bring authentic Peruvian flavors straight to your campsite table.

With fully customizable options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and special dietary needs, every multi-course meal is thoughtfully designed to restore your strength, satisfy your palate, and keep you energized throughout every leg of your adventure.

Our hardworking porters are the true heroes of the trail—proud local men and women from rural farming communities across the Cusco region, ranging from 18 to 55 years old. As pioneers in ethical trekking, we proudly employ both male and female porters, supporting family units where fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, and siblings work side by side. By choosing us, you directly support steady income, fair wages, and empowered livelihoods for families originating from traditional villages such as:

Working tirelessly behind the scenes, our porters carry the heavy load so you can focus on enjoying the journey. They embody the warmth, resilience, and rich heritage of the Andes, welcoming you with genuine smiles at every campsite and ensuring your gear, food, and high-mountain setup are fully prepared before you even arrive. Their dedication and spirit are at the very heart of an unforgettable trek.

Travel in total comfort with our modern, fully equipped fleet designed specifically for high-mountain terrain. At Alpaca Expeditions, we handle all your ground transfers with private, air-conditioned vehicles and professional local drivers, ensuring your door-to-door journey from your hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley is safe, smooth, and entirely hassle-free.

Whether you are heading to the trailhead early in the morning or returning after a rewarding trek, our reliable transport service guarantees exact punctuality and relaxed travel. Sit back, unwind, and soak in the breathtaking Andean landscapes while we take care of every detail of your mountain logistics.

At Alpaca Expeditions, ethical tourism goes beyond the trail—it extends to where our team rests and recharges. Our dedicated Porter House in Cusco provides a warm, safe, and comfortable home away from home for our porters before and after every expedition. Equipped with clean sleeping quarters, hot showers, and nutritious meals, this facility ensures our hard-working team receives the dignified care and rest they truly deserve.

More than just a place to stay, the Porter House serves as a community hub where our porters can relax, connect, and access ongoing education, health support, and professional training. By providing high-quality lodging and fair treatment, we ensure that the men and women who power our treks are valued, empowered, and fully supported every step of the way.
