    Felipe gave an incredible tour throughout the Inca Trail and Manchu Picchu. Fantastic experience and a truly personal service.

    Alpaca Expeditions provides the most incredible trekking service! My boyfriend and I had the most amazing journey! Our tour guide Felipe was always there for us whenever we needed him and before we even knew we needed him. Our chef Alfredo prepared the most delicious meals for everyone. What really made my boyfriend and I so happy was the fact that our chef Alfredo made me vegan and gluten-free meals breakfast, lunch and dinner, and it was scrumptious! That right there is the GREEN MACHINE. Felipe and Alfredo always had a smile on their face day in day out, it made us happy just to see them. They really cater to your needs and are there for you. Every campsite we stayed at had the most stunning landscapes. A big plus was the pop-up toilets, talk about comfort at the campsite. The tents were of excellent quality and were clean everyday. When you are ready to trek be sure to ask for Felipe as your tour guide and Alfredo as your chef, you will not be disappointed.

    The trip was amazing, a great experience totally recommended. Miguel was our guide during the Inca Trail and between him, our incredible chef Segundino and all the Chaskis that supported the tour we have a memorable experience. The kindness and warmth of the team and the beautiful views make it a trip to repeat in the future. My wife wants to go back as soon as possible to repeat the great time we had. She can't wait to do another tour with Alpaca Expeditions. Ruben was also great during our Rainbow mountain tour helping in all that he could and without any rush so we could take all the pictures we wanted (and he was a great photographer as well).

    My Family did the Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with Alpaca Expedition in September of 2019. The entire experience from start to finish was awesome and I can’t speak highly enough of the whole crew at Alpaca Expedition - the guide, the food, the organization, the gears ... Everything is top notch. They made the 4 day tour (even in rain) an awesome experience! The company has over 1/3 of the share of Inca Trail tourists for a reason...

    My wife and I had a fantastic time on our hike through Alpaca Expeditions. Everything about the planning process was smooth even when we had to reschedule last minute because of flight delays. While on the hike, the porters and our guide, Javier, were very accommodating, educational, and hospitable, especially when my wife had gotten sick half way through the hike. I would highly recommend Alpaca Expeditions to anyone planning on hiking the Inca Trail or other areas they also cover in Peru.

    My experience with Alpa Expeditions was phenomenal - I would urge anyone doing the Inca Trail to travel with them because after a lot of research, the steps that they have taken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their porters is beyond what other companies often provide. Our tour guides, Javier and Toro, were so knowledgeable and willing to share so much more than the history of the Inca Trail. They shared personal stories, history of Peru, and made the experience just that much more valuable. Thank you to everyone on our trek making this a wonderful unforgettable experience!

    We used Alpaca expeditions in January 2020 to do the classic Inca Trail, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful and kind. The pace set for the walking days were manageable, and the food was the best we had in South America. Being gluten free, I was provided full meals and snacks at every opportunity, including gluten free cookies at tea time and a (freshly baked) gluten free cake on the last day. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do the Inca Trail.
