Great tour
Sarah_J, Apr 2024
The group are very organised and run the tour like clockwork. Everything is thought of and communicated. Unfortunately due to illness we could only complete days 1 and 4 of the tour. However we were escorted out by a guide and assisted to make our way to meet with the group at Machu Picchu on day 4 to complete the tour and travel back to Cusco with the group. While we were with the group, the accommodations (tent, food etc) were exactly as described and very comfortable. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable. We were devastated to be ill (food poisoning from a meal before the tour) and not complete the hike however this is not uncommon and we were taken care of to get medicine and travel to meet with the group. I would recommend this tour and I hope one day we can return to Peru and try again.
Go with Alpaca!
Eric_M, Mar 2024
I went on the Inca Trail Trek with two friends from college. Alpaca was a great company to book with. The guides Javier and Brando were the best guides a traveler could ask for. It is clear how much they care about what they do, and it showed in their detailed explanations of Incan Sites and their overall care for the group. The porters and chef were excellent, and we did not encounter a single issue on the entire hike. Alpaca treats its staff quite well, which made it easier to decide to book with them. We cannot recommend this trek with Alpaca more. While it was challenging at times, it was definitely worth it! This was the highlight of our trip to Peru, and if I return I will be booking more trips with this company.
Once in a lifetime experience
Perry_L, Jan 2024
My partner and I went on the 4 days/3 nights Inca trail hike to Machu Picchu with Alpaca expedition. We lucked out with having Rodrigo and Soledad as our fantastic guides! They were knowledgeable, informative, and caring. We also enjoyed the delicious food prepared by the amazing cooks Eulogio and Alex! It was a meaningful experience filled with challenging hikes and meeting others from around the world. I highly recommend it as a passage to seeing Machu Picchu.
Beautiful and amazing

Core memory Inka Trail Trek
Terry_T, Sep 2023
Alpaca Expeditions led a life long memorable trip through the Inka Trail trek. Led by Liz Andro and Cipian, they helped us along the trek, told funny stories to keep it light, and took any pictures no question asked. Cipian even carried another hiker's backpack during a difficult portion of the trek without qualms. Additionally, the porters and the chefs were excellent. The porters were always cheering you on and the chefs were able to whip up amazing food when you reached camp. Thank you for the core memories.
Amazing hike
Steve_P, Aug 2023
It was a fantastic hike with a group of international hikers. Representatives from Alpaca expeditions were professional from start until the end. Especially I would like to mention the two guides Jaime and Jan Carlo who where enthusiastic, full of knowledge and able to communicate this knowledge in a very good manner. They also made sure that every participant in the group were taken well care of in order to reach Machu Picchu. The head porter Rolando with his group of porters did an outstanding job in order to carry heavy back packs from start until the end in order to facilitate our journey and lastly the Chef Mijael and his people managed to make exellent meals during the hike. Unfortunately one of my family members got sick before the hike and could not participate. The Alpaca company facilitated another programme when she recovered including a trip to Machu Picchu by train where she joined our group and were included in the guided tour and lunch. Many thanks to the Alpaca company for their professional execution and handling of this amazing hike.
Jose and Nancy were the...

Jose and Nancy were the best guides ever. It was an unforgettable experience and we would not have been able to make it through without our amazing guides. Our group was awesome and the porters and chef were superstars! Go super hikers!
