Had an amazing time on the 5 day Inca trail trek with our guide Max! Would highly recommend the 5 days as you get to camp at Phuyupatamarca (our favourite and definitely most scenic campsite) and you also have time to visit more of the smaller (though no less impressive) Incan sites along the way. Max made sure to provide us heaps of information about the history of the Incas, details about all the sites visited as well as info about the plants and animals we saw (a special interest for some members of our group). The food was delicious and plentiful, the gear we rented was good quality - we were looked after really well! Overall the trip exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend Alpaca expeditions as a locally owned company!

Max made this trek absolutely amazing and beyond my expectations! His patience and knowledge was overwhelmingly amazing! Max was the most thoughtful caring guide we have ever shared an experience with! I’ll never forget him!! Thank you Max!!The porters were so humble, caring and STRONG!! The whole crew inspired me to keep going every step of the way!! The campsites were so comfortable and welcoming! The chef was way way beyond my expectations! EVERY meal was so delicious… and so good to taste true Peruvian cuisine! Thank you all!!!!

No detail left unattended- caring, personable and informative guides. (Rodrigo & Fernando, were super!) Amazing food by Super Chef, Raul... Four courses prepared fresh at altitude no less. Camp set-up, takedown and transport done by super porters- incredible endurance and teamwork all to deliver the most amazing customer experience. I felt safe and have no regrets booking with Alpaca Expediditions!

Incredible experience from start to finish! I was very lucky to have a good group and the best tour guide in Walter! His knowledge was unbelievable and he had a good answer to every question that was asked as well as the most perfect English which made it a lot easier! He was very punctual, organised and helpful!

I don’t even know where to begin! We are a small group of 6 friends some of whom had milestone birthdays this year (60!) and wanted to do something memorable to celebrate. From start to finish, the team at Alpaca Expeditions was there all the way to help with our planning and took such great care of us! We did the 5D/4N Inka Trail to Machu Picchu and while it was probably the most challenging thing I have ever done, the journey was extraordinary mostly due to our incredible team of porters, chef and Tino…the most caring and compassionate guide who took extra good care of us from the first step to the last. His passion for history, culture and nature added so much to our trek and when someone in the group struggled, he was there with compassion and sincerity to help. We could not have accomplished this bucket list journey without him! A special shout out to Gregorio, our incredible chef who surprised us every day with delicious spreads morning, noon and night! I mean who gets Bananas flambé for dessert while camping?! One of our group has a gluten allergy and Gregorio made sure he never went hungry with equally impressive and delicious options. Bravo! And the porters! Amazing, caring and hard working team of incredible individuals made sure we were set up and taken care of each step of the way. Wait until you see them jogging past you with heavy packs to make sure camp is set before you arrive. Incredible! Don’t look any further if you are considering a tour company for Machu Picchu. Alpaca is simply the best! Thank you Tino, Gregorio and the entire team for making our journey unforgettable!

Isao was great and super knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had. He made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and accounted for. Definitely a slower paced tour but a great way to get your moneys worth and see all of the sacred valley and best views of macchu picchu

Salkantay trek delivers so much more than just an incredible hike. Alpaca team make you appreciate so much of their culture, language, pride in their community, the environment and their company. The group become your family seeing you through the challenges and joys of the journey. The meals are incredible and the chef Sebastian and his team work wonders. Our guide Rolando offered so much insight to every aspect of the journey making every element well paced, calm, clear and interesting. Machu Pichu was a uniquely special experience led by Rolando but throughout the trip he made every stage something special. Coffee tasting was unexpected but great. The campsites are incredible for location and how the team make it all so effortless. The range of accommodation is well planned so you really enjoy all the different types. Hard not to write an essay on how exceptional this whole experience has been to the degree I was totally moved and touched by so many elements that now it’s over, I feel quite emotional!

Excellent Salkantay trek with alpaca expeditions. Very well organised, great accommodation and above all an excellent guide in Rolando. The alpaca team got all our gear to each of the camps and provided great food and support. Every time we had a problem Rolando found a solution - wether it was a horse to get us up the steep part of the Salkantay pass or a car to get me to adopt where I could rest and recovery when I was ill. You have nothing to worry about with Rolando he will look after you ( and he us great company as well).

Had a fantastic trip with David (our guide) and Ramon (our cook) for the 2 day one night trip. David was an incredible guide! The lunch on the first day was great too

I had a great time on the Lares Trek with our guide Jhymy. Our chefs, Soledad and Trinida, prepared delicious meals and accommodated all of our dietary needs (allergies, restrictions). Our porters and staff, Segundino, Roberto, and Fernando, made sure our camps were setup and ready with our bags before we arrived to each campsite. Thank you to all the staff for an incredible experience

The Salkantay track was an amazing experience. The landscape (mountains/cloudforrest/jungle) was really impressive and includes a pass of approx 4600m high. Subsequently, our guide (Rolando) and chef (Sebastian) made this trip even better by providing information about the nature/Inca’s and very delicious food. I can recommend anyone who wants to visit Machu Picchu to plan this hike with Alpaca.

The whole experience was amazing. From our guide and chef to all the beautiful views and fantastic activities! Special thanks to Rolando our guide for all the info/ opportunities and to Sebastian (our chef) for the amazing food!!

A fantastic experience — the information about the trek was provided ahead of time in order to prepare, then things were handled smoothly from day one. The guide, Ronaldo, was a true gem — and I have done a lot of tours. He helped everyone in our group bond together as a fast family, and he gave us loads of amazing information each step along the way. The chef, Sebastian, made sure we had warm meals three times a day, constantly surprising us with innovative local cuisine. It was hard to believe we were in the Andes when eating his food. The trek was beautiful, filled with highlights each day. We were able to see many beautiful sights, including Humantay Lake and Machu Picchu, with only our groups — very different than other tours and treks where you are just one of a crowd. Would highly recommend Alpaca for this or any other trek! (The company itself is also active in giving back to their local community and supporting their employees — extra brownie points)

The tour is totally worth it! The views and the campsites are just amazing. We had the Humantay lake and most places just for us! The team makes sure that you always feel comfortable, safe and happy! Can totally recommend!

Our tour was the 4 day 3 night Inka trail to Machu Picchu. We had an amazing time. We had a group of 13 people and we met the day before for a helpful briefing explaining what we would be doing day to day. There we met also our guides Elisban and Rosita. We left with our bag to put our clothes in and with a lot of excitement thanks to meeting everyone and feeling ready. The trek itself was outstanding. Elisban and Rosita were very knowledgable guides and great professional people with great humor. They made sure everyone was comfortable and they prepared us really well for all parts of the route. It felt like you were doing the trek as a team with great coaches. The route itself can be challenging, especially day two with a lot of elevation gain, but they made it manageable and fun. The views are amazing (and they were also great photographers). Elisban and Rosita clearly had a lot of knowledge and passion about their culture, language, the area and the people. I think it added a lot of value to our trip that they shared their stories (short history lessons and personal experiences) as locals - thank you both for sharing it with us! The food deserves its own paragraph - it was a spread of many different dishes every morning, afternoon and evening with choice for everyone. I was the only vegetarian and there was plenty of choice for me plus an additional dish that was always great. I travelled with two friends with allergies and they also received great separate dishes and snacks. Lastly, you can not do this trek without an amazing team of porters. Those guys carry all the materials and food up and set up camp. Everything you need will be there (even a toilet), the tents and sleeping mats and bags were great. They were a hard working and fun group of people. Alpaca values the work of the porters and makes an effort so that you are all introduced to each other. This makes the experience more real and puts it in perspective, which was important to me. In short, I had an amazing experience I will never forget. I feel so lucky we had Rosita, Elisban, the team of porters and the group all with a great attitude, humor and philosophy - combined with never ending beautiful views and finishing in the famous Machu Picchu. I would recommend Alpaca to everyone!!
