Alpaca Expeditions Arvostelua 

We recently completed four single-day tours plus a 2-day Inca Trail/Machu Picchu trek with Alpaca Expeditions, and the experience far exceeded our expectations!
Our two guides, Jamie and Marcela, were outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, and genuinely fun to be around. They made every moment enjoyable and educational.

As a couple aged 66 and 68, we found the trekking challenging at times, but both guides provided tremendous support with pacing advice, encouragement, and practical assistance whenever needed. Their patience and expertise made it all manageable and rewarding.

All the tours featured interesting, well-balanced itineraries with a great mix of walks, historical sites, and cultural insights. Everything ran smoothly, thanks to Alpaca Expeditions' clear expertise in handling Peru's tourism logistics—they're flexible, responsive, and their infrastructure is obviously well-tested and reliable.
If we were to do it again, we'd probably build in a rest day or two for recovery but that's our only minor suggestion.

We’ll be enthusiastically recommending Alpaca Expeditions to all our friends and family. If you're considering a trip to Peru, especially the Inca Trail or Machu Picchu, look no further—this company delivers!

I also want to add a shout out to Yasmina who helped us through the booking process. She was very responsive and helpful

Thank you Alpaca for our memorable trip

The whole experience was amazing- the organization, food, guidelines, and of course incredible views. But what made it truly special was the team! Hardworking, knowledgeable, and so friendly. Thank you Javi and Jean Carlo!

The hike was a beautiful and life changing experience for me that I probably wouldn’t have been able to finish without Javi and Jean Carlos being there for me step by step. They provided knowledgeable insight of the Inca culture and environment on the trail. Easily the best travel experience I’ve had in years. Thank you guys for an awesome four days.

This was my first time doing a multi day hike like this and I'm glad I booked it with Alpaca Expeditions. They handle the logistics including food, tents, etc., provide a packing list, and all in all made it a very smooth experience. Our guides Javi and Jean Carlos were 10/10! I found the hike to be challenging in parts but their positive attitude and sense of humor helped keep me going to the end. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide was Juan Miranda, and he was amazing! Great history at every site, as well as connections to the symbolism and religion! He was very kind and accommodating with us. We have someone in our group get altitude sickness and he went out of his way to make sure they were cared for. Highly recommended!!

Our group had an outstanding day with our very knowledgeable guide Juan. Not only did he pass along his deep knowledge of the various sites we visited but made the bus trip enjoyable with his many stories about the ancient cultures and peoples of the Andes. I would highly recommend Alpaca Expeditions and Juan to anyone heading to Cusco and in need of a guide.

Fantastic 4 day Inca trail hike with Alpaca Expeditions. Our guide Romario was extremely knowledgeable and the porters did an amazing job setting up camp before we arrived each day.
The food on the trek was amazing - literally the best guacamole I've ever had! Our chef also baked a birthday cake for one of the team.
Equipment was of top quality too with a very warm sleeping bag and Thermarest mattresses.

We did the 4-day Inca trail trek to Machu Picchu and were not impressed with Alpaca. There were western toilets at the camps that the porters completely took over and left in a disgusting state so the 12 clients had 1 portaloo to use between them. Some of the group were very slow and we had to wait hours regularly to wait for them, and even though the 2 guides could have split the group to avoid it they did not. On one day our waiting time was 4 hours!! Then finally on the last night of the trip our main guide informed us of the tip expectations and after tipping the chef, the 2nd in command and the porters he expected a further $20 tip per client per day, equating almost $1,000 tip for himself on top of his salary. This caused such upset amongst the group many didn't go to dinner on the last night or went to bed early......shocking!

Outstanding Expedition! Top notch service with Alpaca Expeditions! We did the four day Trek on the Inca Trail. Our great Guides - Rosel, Carlos, and Aldair took great care of us. The Porters were very friendly and worked incredibly hard. And the Chefs provided incredible food! Really - what they could prepare on the trail was amazing. Coffee or tea in your tent to start your day, clean and comfortable tents and equipment, great history lessons at each site, and a smooth running and well organized team made for a fantastic four days on the trail!

We did the 2 day Inca trail with Alpaca. It was the best trip on the entire Peru tour. A group of 8 walked a hiking trail that first went up a tall mountain and then through slightly uphill clifftops, to cover a total of 3 mountains. Then, (thankfully), the trail went down hill to the base of Machu Picchu.

The 2 day trail itself is not an easy one. But, if you are younger and fitter, you can do the more intensive 5 day one.

We had two people in the group who were (ahem) "older" - one had high blood pressure and the other had not yet acclimatized to the altitude. They were slower and needed frequent rests. But Alpaca's guides, Luis and Americo both, were with them throughout the trip. But completing the trip gave everybody a sense of achievement. Macchu Picchu view from Sunset Hill in the evening itself was worth the trip.

Please be aware that this is not an easy trip, especially if you are are not in the best of health, but (most probably) it is still possible to complete it. Alpaca guides will help you along the way!
