  This was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. The trip was well planned and organised, our guides - Saul and Mariasol - were the nicest, more informative guides Ive come across. The altitude was a bit tricky but the guides were patience and tried to make the experience the best possible for all of us.

  This trip was sooo fabulous! Truly, I cannot say enough about Alpaca—the guides, cooks, porters, and customer service were all amazing. We did the 2D/1N with camping, and I am so happy we selected this tour. Victor is hands down the best guide out there, and I suggest everyone request him!! Thank you!

  We were a team of 12 people from Armenia on 2-day tour to Machu Picchu with Alpaca Expeditions. Our guide was Saul Palma. Both the company and the Guide were outstanding in their efforts to make anything possible to make our trip safe and pleasant. Saul is highly professional tour guide. He demonstrated his deep knowledge in history, archeology and art. Very attentive person. His stories were both informative and emotional at the same time. We enjoyed his telling very much. On the way to Machu Picchu we did not have big enough backpacks for staying overnight in Aguas Calientes. Saul and his company had to negotiate with the train company to permit carrying our bags on the train. We realized how difficult was for them to negotiate this as our team was the only one carrying them on the train. This and many other small details show that they really care about their clients. Great thanks to Saul and his company. Ashot Hovanesian

  This was an absolutely incredible experience. The hike is amazing, even if the first third of it is rather challenging. Definitely spend some time acclimating in Cusco before you do it. The hike is beautiful at every turn, whether you’re scrambling up steep steps in ancient Incan communities or staring out at the mountains in awe. This is a truly, truly beautiful trek. As far as trip organization goes, Alpaca blew me away. Our guide, Walter, was absolutely incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better one if we made one up ourselves out of thin air and magic. He was so knowledgeable, so passionate, and you could tell truly loved his job. He was able to get us into the citadel area while the weather was amazing our first day since we didn’t know what it would be like the next, and I will be forever grateful for that. The transport, food, and accommodations were all wonderful as well. Aguas Calientes is a gorgeous little town. This was an experience of a lifetime, and perfect for us since we didn’t have the time to do the full multi-day trek but still wanted to experience the Inca Trail. It was perfect. I couldn’t have had a better experience and would highly recommend booking with Alpaca Expeditions. I was also a big fan of it being run and organized completely by locals, and the owner was a former Porter so cares deeply for his team and treats them well. Overall, 10/10. Couldn’t recommend more.

  Saul Palma was our guide for the 2-day Inca Trail Trek and he took a cool trip and made it an amazing experience! He was fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and someone who made us love our adventure. I want him to be our guide for all of our future travels and adventures in Peru. I would give this trip a 10 out of 10 because of Saul!

  WOW! It was amazing! Starting with booking and ending with drop off - it all went smothly. Our guide DAVID Villanueva is a real treasure you could find. He took real good care of us taking into consideration the needs of everyone in the group. He knows a lot and shared the stories of the trail and Inkas all the way so that we got additional motivation to move between the stops. The hotel we spent the night is great. I slept like a baby. On a king size bed by the way :) Important to be mentioned is our cook Armando. While other hikers ate a sandwich, we got a restaurant-leval-tasty food cooked and served by Armando in the high jungle. Unbelievably good. I picked up this agency thanks to a recommendation. A friend of mine said back than: "Alpaca Expeditions are the best on the market. They will take great care of you". And he was 100% right!

  We had booked this 2D/1N hotel tour for March 2020 with Alpacas Expedition and we are so happy that we finally got to go in March 2022. Our flight was pushed and so we didn’t arrive until 8:30pm the previous night before our tour, which was very late and the office closed. Diego collected our cash at the hotel, and our amazing tour guide David Condori Villanueva gave us a debrief of what to expect and what to pack for the next 2 days. On time, David picked us up and we made our way. Thank you for the amazing chef, Armando, who we met in the morning before our Inca trail hike. He brought all the food and was waiting for us at the meetup spot upon arrival with a deliciously cooked lunch. It was so good and nutritious - and what variety! I don’t eat fish so he made a chicken protein also. David continued to be amazing - he was very patient and kind - very informative about the Inca history and shared great stories along the way. I’m not very in shape so I liked that he considered the experience of those in the groups and provided us breaks and stories every so often. I don’t think our trip would have been the same if it weren’t for David, he is truly the best!! I will definitely recommend for my friends to book through Alpacas Expedition when they come to Cusco, and request David as their guide if possible. I’m so happy that I had this experience, it will be unforgettable.

  My partner and I just completed the Inca Trail 2 day with hotel trek. We knew ahead of time that things would be pretty atypical due to covid and we would have to be compliant with all heath and safety protocols. From the time we stepped foot in the Alpaca Expedition office in historic Cusco and introduced to our guide Roro we knew we were in good hands. The next morning we were picked up by Alpaca Expedition and off to Ollantaytambo to catch the train to the trail head for our trek. Due to unique circumstances involving COVID19 restrictions our group was only three plus our super guide Roro. One of our main reasons we chose Alpaca Expeditions is their commitment to hiring local guides; Roro gave us a unique insight into what it was like to live and grow up in the area and he even pointed out his family farm along the Urubamba River as we rode the train to the trail head. As we hiked to Machu Picchu Roro told us the history of the Incan people and explained the importance of each ancient site. Roro’s description of his ancestors was very heartfelt; we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. The scenery along the trail was absolutely breathtaking and we had plenty of time to stop for breaks and take photos. Our life changing experience in Peru is all thanks to our guide Roro from Alpaca Expeditions.
