Highly recommend Alpaca Expeditions for your Inca trail experience. The 'green machine' may seem overwhelming at first, but its simply a very well organized company. You will have an amazing, and personal experience with your group and guides from start to end! All information on the website is correct and describes very well what you can expect. Our Tour guides, Saul G and Valentino, did an amazing job. Guiding our group of 16 over the trail, making it a great and fun experience for everyone. They shared a lot of knowledge about the flora, fauna and historical details along the route. The route itself has a few challenging bits, but with the amazing support from the porters, it becomes very feasible and comfortable. Antolin and his porter team were super friendly and helpful. The camping stops can really be considered "glamping". Your tent is all setup with inflatable mats, good sleeping bags (rented), and your duffel with personal items. Lastly, also expect to enjoy some great diverse food. Our chef Dionicio and his team created lovely breakfasts, lunches and dinners! Even birthday suprises like banana flambee and a cake. In short; choose Alpaca for a comfortable but adventurous way to explore the nature and the old Inca trail leading to Machupichu! PS. Also buy your Waynapichu ticket, it's worth it!

Me and my boyfriend are so happy with everything. Our guides Rony and Nilton did everything in their power to make us feel happy and satisfied. The food was amazing. We're vegan but the chef made such creative and tasty food for us all the time! The porters did such an amazing job. I just can't recommend this enough. This is a once in a lifetime experience that everyone should do if they have the opportunity! Again thank you, we'll always remember and look back at these days with such joy!

Alpaca Expeditions was truly fantastic. The porters all worked so hard to provide us with comfort and our belongings, and the chef whipped up superb meal thrice a day right there and then, along with carrying all of the cooking equipment. The hike was beautiful and our guide pointed out and taught us about everything from how to make rope out of grass to the history of the archeological sites along the way. Amazing.

The hike was amazing along with the views and Machu Picchu itself. I can't fault alpaca tours and our guides Lizandro and Wilbur who were incredibly informative and helpful throughout and always made sure the group was having a good time

My friend and I signed up for the classic 4D/3N Inca trail with Alpaca. I were excited to see Maccu Picchu, but didn’t really have any other expectations for the hike. Wow, how Alpaca surprised me. It started with a warm welcome and informative briefing meeting with our two amazing guides Jaime and Humberto. They continued through the entire trip to always be open for questions, teach us about the Inca history, positive energy and lots of jokes. The trip would not have been the same without them! THANK YOU JAIME AND HUMBERTO❤️ Despite the obvious beautiful views along the way and Inca buildings, we were provided exceptional meals from our chef Alejandro. We were served different meals each day and it was the best food I have tasted in Peru. Especially, the mango ceviche!! The trip in itself and the food would not have been the same without our porters. I have never in my life gained more respect for people than those men. They carried all our food, tents, duffel bags, toilet etc. They were always smiling and very kind. A very precious experience from the trip was when they all introduced themselves. Lastly, we were 14 hikers in our group and each person was incredible. We had a lot of good conversations, jokes, laughter and the kindness from everyone was unreal. We all helped to push eachother and clapp when the group members made it! Truly an unforgettable experience that I will remember forever! Very happy that I got to be a part of the Alpaca family❤️

Alpaca expedition exceeded beyond expectations! Our tour guides Saul G. & Valentin was absolutely amazing and made the who experience great! They made sure each member of the group had a great time. The knowledge, experience and fun made it feel very memorable. The porters ( head porter Antolin) were amazing and the head chef ( Dionicio) and food were better than I expected. Amazing Peruvian food, cater to all dietary restrictions and beyond! They even made our friends birthday celebration super special! Flambé banana and a beautiful delicious cake. The whole team worked so hard and made its trek that much more special! Thank you to the whole alpaca expedition team and our tour guides !!

We’ve had an amazing time with Alpaca, thanks to our guides Saul and Valentine. The trip was challenging, but all was well arranged: from the lovely dishes to the comfortabel tents, and the in-depth knowledge about the Inca sites. Also a shout-out to the amazing team of porters, who were friendly and super quick. We would definitely recommend to book this trip.

The MOST amazing backpacking trip I've ever been on!! Saul G and Valentine were incredibly kind and accommodating, making sure that everything was always perfect for the entire group 👏 Saul had so much knowledge about the sites we visited and answered every question we had, making it a really special experience. Dionicio's food was 5 star 🌟 and Antolin's crew of porters were some of the hardest working people I've ever met 🙏 would 10/10 recommend Saul G, Valentine, and everyone else at Alpaca Expeditions !!!

Recently finished our trip with Saul G and Valentin at Alpaca Expeditions. The entire experience was amazing. Typical meals included 4-5 different dishes prepared by highly skilled chefs. Equipment and professionalism were also top notch. Our guides were passionate, knowledgeable, helpful, and funny. 100% would recommend this trip and this outfitter. Enjoy your trip!

Amazing experience! We travelled with Saul G and Valentin as our tour guides (chef Dionicio and head porter antolin). I was blown away at the work ethic and attention to detail. All of the small luxuries along the way made our trip unforgettable. It’s a difficult hike, but we got through it with the over-the-top support from the alpaca team.

We had a great time hiking the Inca trail with our guides Saul and Valentin. The trip felt well organized and we loved learning more of the Inca history during our breaks from Saul. We felt supported and encourage through the ups and downs of the trek. Always amazed at the hard work of the porters on Antolins team and enjoyed the delicious meals from Chef Dionicio (especially the soups!).

Simply fantastic! The level of care, service and excellent was simply unforgettable for all of the right reasons. Saul G and Valentine were incredible guides who took great care of us, especially when we got sick. Huge amounts of knowledge, humour and encouragement. The porters team lead by Antolin was outstanding - their work rate is second to none and they greeted us everyday with a smile. Dionicio’s chef team defied all expectations (and possibly the laws of physics). They made special food for every dietary requirement, produced incredible meals and even managed to bake a cake 3 days into the trek. Magicians! Phenomenal experience. I cannot recommend it more.

What a life-changing experience! The team at Alpaca Expeditions were true professionals in every sense of the word. Our guides Javier and Yoel kept our group feeling very well taken care of and they did a great job explaining the historical significance on each part of the trail along the way. They’re amazing at what they do and we had two new genuine friends by the end. It blew our minds how hard all of the porters worked setting up, taking down and carrying the camp equipment each day so that everything was ready and waiting for us at each resting point. The chef Lorenzo made us delicious meals made from fresh local ingredients along the way to keep us powered up for the demanding hikes. Alpaca is a great locally-owned and operated company who knows how to deliver a fantastic and safe Inka Trail experience. Our group is very glad we went with them and will recommend them to anyone thinking of taking the same journey!

Javier and Yoel were absolutely amazing. Javier was an amazing teacher. All along the trail he stopped to educate us on his culture / history / religion. Extremely cool experience and exceeded our expectations in every way. 10/10

This was an amazing experience! Sabino and Carlitos were wonderful guides always working to keep us on schedule, show us interesting things, and make us laugh. Sabie even checked on me in the middle of the night when I had a bad cough to see if I was okay and to bring me medicine to ensure I got enough sleep for our trek the next day. Our chef Cecelio kept us well-fed with food that was so delicious I was shocked he was able to make it on the trail. Our porters were extremely efficient and kind, always hustling and cheering us on and ensuring we had a comfortable place to sleep for the night. If you’re considering a trek on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, I highly recommend checking out Alpaca Expeditions. It truly was the experience of a lifetime.

Like many, I knew the Inca Trail experience would be incredible but there are two people that made it so much more…Javier and Yoel - you are two of the best guides I’ve met. More than that though, you became part of our 15 person crew. Sulpayki!
