Great tour with Miguel and meals with Balberto
The trip to rainbow mountain was wonderful with Alpaca Expeditions. Miguel was knowledge and experienced on the trails and Balberto was a super chef. We enjoyed this trip!
Spectacular bucket list trip
My wife and I can thoroughly recommend the 4 day Inca trail hike with Alpaca tours. The whole trek was brilliantly organised and supported by our guides, Ivan and Ray, who brought to life the history of the Incas and their buildings in areas you can only reach on this trek. The mountain scenery is awesome, culminating in Machu Picchu, truly one of the wonders of the world. Food was great, company was great - we made memories and friends to treasure. Just make sure you're fit enough for the altitude!
Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley Day Hike with Lunch
We did three different tours with Alpaca Expeditions during our trip to Peru, and this review is specifically for the Rainbow Mountain hike with Elix. We had an awesome time from start to finish. The food provided was amazing, and Elix was a great guide and host. His English was excellent, and he kept everything organized and clearly communicated everything throughout the day. High altitude is challenging, and Elix was super patient and encouraging with our slower pace on the trail—never felt rushed. On top of that, he went way above and beyond at the end of the day by helping us get our luggage carried to our hotel, since the street was too narrow for the van to get all the way there. Definitely recommend booking with Alpaca, and ask for Elix if you can!
Unforgettable Experience
We completed the 4-day, 3-night Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with Alpaca Expeditions, and Ivan and Raymundo genuinely made the experience what it was. Both were absolutely brilliant. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture and everything along the trail, but what really stood out was their personalities. They were patient, funny, encouraging and genuinely great company. They knew exactly when to push us, when to slow things down and how to keep everyone's spirits up, especially on the tougher days. You could tell they genuinely cared about making the experience special for everyone, rather than just getting us from A to B. We learned so much, had plenty of laughs and couldn't have asked for better guides. The entire Alpaca Expeditions operation was incredibly well organised, but Ivan and Raymundo deserve a special mention. If you're doing the Inca Trail, ask for these two. Absolutely unforgettable experience!
10/10 recommend
Everything was phenomenal! From amazing meals every day to the beautiful cultures and local villages. I loved how remote and quiet the trek was and not touristy at all allowing you to have a more authentic experience. Carlos Arqque was our guide and he made the experience absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and was a lot of fun to spend the 4 days with. We all also especially enjoyed playing football with Carlos and the team!
