    It was an amazing trip. Alpaca Expeditions took care of everything. The guides, chef, and porters were exceptional. I highly recommend this experience.

    This team thought of everything and anything to make you as comfortable as possible and they made sure you were well taken care of and well fed. Several of us had some GI issues, and our tour guides made sure to get us back in tip top shape to enjoy our hike. I would recommend this hike to anyone who is in shape and looking for an awesome way to experience Inca history and the sights of the mountains and Machu Picchu.

    I thought I was in better shape than I was. The uphills were challenging but the downhills were very difficult. Luckily Tino and Umberto were there with me every step of the way although I am sure it was very frustrating for them. This also meant that our two guides needed to split up and / or use some porters to help me. I am an avid hiker in the Midwest of the US but I realized that even in more remote parks / trails here, there are many crisscrossing paths meaning that you are never very far a trail head or at least a road that will let you bail out of continuing. I did not realize that once on the Inca Trail, there was only one way off - to finish it. Tino offered a porter to help me get back to the trail head after day one but it seemed that 9 miles return vs 10 miles forward was pretty much the same; I also thought that day three and four would be easier. The support of the staff was phenominal. However, I think that there should be a warning in the brochure about the difficulty involved, and that there is no turning back or bailing out once started. The brochure seems to play down the difficulty or how good a shape one should be in before attempting this trail. To be fair, all the other hikers I saw (and I saw them all, passing me each day) did not seem to be having particular difficuilty.

    My daughter and I had a great time. At our briefing Alvin explained the daily schedule. He was very knowledgeable and helpful during the 4 day hike as I was a little slow. The meals the chef made were incredible. The porters worked so hard carrying all of our stuff up to the camp to have it set up before we got there. Making it to the Sun Gate was a big accomplishment for me. The trip was awesome.

    Extraordinary experience with extraordinary people. My friend and I did this trek May 2024. It’s was physically challenging but very rewarding. Our guides, Nilton and Victor were amazing. Nilton is our lead guide, he’s very knowledgable and knows a lot about his culture and it’s history. You don’t just go on Inca sites, you learn about them. Both him and Victor are very attentive throughout the trek and they were very supportive and encouraging. I really felt taken care of during this 4 days. Of course we can’t forget our amazing chef and our porters. They set up camp and have our food ready as soon as we wake up. They carry our stuff with smiles on their faces. The hard work that these guys do is nothing short of amazing. They cheer for us when we start the day and at the end of our day when we reach camp.

    We did our trek with alpaca expositions and it was amazing. Our guides, Javier and Henry were encouraging and informative. The chef Alex was able to create gourmet meals including cakes and tortes in a camping setting. This was an unforgettable journey.

    Unbelievable. Brilliant tour, brilliant guides (Juan Carlos and Rosita) who let you stop or slow down whenever you need, they tell stories and show you interesting stops along the way, they're funny, sweet, organized and helpful. The porters carry your belongings and sleeping bags, etc. and you really can't believe how much they can carry with no complaints. They also work so hard around the camp, and they clapped us every time we arrived at our lunch/dinner spots. The chefs, wow, cooked us some amazing meals, and there was always more than enough food. They provide you with snacks for throughout the day which is nice - and needed! Everything was just amazing and very well ran. I can't recommend this trip enough.
