Alpaca Expeditions 

Don Americo & His team were great throughout the whole trip nothing but gratitude and respect for the handwork these Men have done and their incredible dedication and commitment to our Adventure. If i were to come back i’d request them by name. 10/10 service

The 4 day hike on the Incan trail to Machu Picchu was absolutely incredible especially with Alpaca Expeditions which a travel agent recommended to me as the best tour group in Peru for this experience. Our guide, Americo, was knowledgeable, and kept us laughing and inspired with the history and culture of Peruvians and Incans! Our group was so fortunate to have him as a guide as well as the most awe inspiring group of porters who every single day set up our campsite, kept it clean, and made us the most exquisite food with a big smile. Btw the food shocked me because for camping, this was a 5 star dining experience and they even were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions while still keeping me well fed. We even had cake on the last day! Overall I’m so grateful for this experience and one review doesn’t really capture the magic of the trail, our porters and guide, and the experience. You will be physically challenged, but you will also be rewarded for that ❤️

This was an amazing experience and alpaca expedition have the best and knowledgeable guides when it comes to the trail and its history. Especially Américo, he is passionate about what he does and hopefully you’re lucky to have him as your guide. The porters were also all incredible and hard working, without them our experience wouldn’t have been possible.

Richard and Abel did a fantastic job. They made our two days in Machu Pichu an unforgettable experience. Richard especially was our 'personal' guide since we were trailing the rest of the group and he made sure we didn't miss out on the experiencia. Excellent job!!!!

Abel and Richard did a great job teaching and informing us about the trai and about Machu Pichu. Great guides ( extraordinarios guías )

Wonderful experience. Thank you to everyone. We were a bit slow on the Inca Trail, but Richard stayed behind with us, talked with us, made us laugh, showed us the different flowers and plants, and educated us on all things Inca along the way. He was very patient and motivating the entire time. Once in a lifetime experience, and Richard made it all the better. Thank you!

My husband and I just had a fantastic experience hiking the classic Inca trail with Alpaca expeditions. Our guides Americo and Abrahim were friendly, helpful, supportive and knowledgeable. The campsites were clean and pleasant and the toilet tent was a big benefit! The warm water to wash yourself every morning and evening helped make us feel much more refreshed. The porters are the true heroes carrying everything for us every day I am in awe of them. The chef and food were amazing throughout, loads of variety and catering for all the needs of the group. Overall an amazing experience that I can't recommend enough.

Just finished the 4 days inca trail to Machu Picchu, Amazing expérience. The food was amazing, the frew caring and the guides provides lots of informations on each site we came across

Once in a lifetime experience with amazing tour guides and porters. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who likes hiking and camping in a social environment. The food was outstanding and the staff always went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Do not miss out if you want to see Machu Picchu!

Marcio and Elder made our trip an incredible experience. They were incredibly invested in making the trip a success. From the initial orientation to the final bus excursion to Machu Picchu, they spared no detail. They were generous and gracious, and most importantly, patient. Finally, they were the ultimate ambassadors for Alpaca Expedition - utmost professionalism and enthusiasm. This was a life changing experience and Marcio and Elder are responsible. Mucho gracias!

The actual experience far out surpassed our expectations! The sleeping accommodations were unique and delightful. The guides were positive, fun, and full of good information. It was a challenging but rewarding experience. Plenty of delicious food and lots of laughter. Would highly recommend to anyone up to a good challenge!

This company does such a great job with organizing tours! I'm a returning customer. Did a classic Inca trail 2 years ago, and this time 5D Salkantay. Guides Marcio and Elder, cook Mario, assistants, porters, horseman - all were awesome.
Would definitely return again in a few years for 7D Salkantay + Inca trail.

A group of 12 guests and 2 guides completed the Salkantay trek with guides Marcio and Elder. The food from Mario and his crew of Richard and Edison was delicious and abundant! They catered amazingly for special diets, including vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian, with incredible attention to detail and protein alternatives. We had a dedicated horseman and other support from the Green Machine team. Alpaca provided some quality equipment, including a backpack rain cover! Each accommodation was unique and lovely, different, quaint and comfortable. Because we hiked early April, it was the end of the rainy season and in a few spots the roads were washed out, but there were transport alternatives and always safety considerations. The guides were informative, kind, funny and took great care of us! Thank you!

It was a great experience with Elder and Marcio! They were amazing guides and allowed us to have the most amazing time on the salkantay trek! They were very informative and also motivational.

The guides were great and super informative. They made sure to keep the group organized and on time, fitting all our accommodations into their schedule. They worked very hard to make our experience inclusive and the best possible!

Amazing trek! Abel and Richard were wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful. They helped all of us carry along the short Inca trail, there was a delicious meal served, and we all felt like family!

Highly recommend Alpaca Expeditions — 5 stars across the board.

Every single member of their staff treated us like family. They were thorough, kind, patient, and incredibly organized. It was such a gift to not have to worry about anything—except waking up on time! And even that was taken care of, as our guide greeted us each morning at our door with a warm cup of tea to start the day.

Our guide, Carlos Arque, was everything we could have hoped for and more. He met us at our hotel the night before the trek, walked us through the itinerary, and made sure we felt confident and prepared every step of the way. My husband and I brought our two young boys (8 and 9), and Carlos was amazing with them—patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in connecting with them.

Our chef, Wilfredo, along with the porters and the entire team at each camp, made us feel like part of one big, joyful family. Wilfredo’s meals were incredible, and his constant smile and positive energy lifted everyone’s spirits. His presence truly made each day better.

The trek itself was HARD—physically demanding and exhausting—but the team, especially Carlos, supported us every step of the way and made us believe in ourselves.

Carlos’s passion—for his work, his culture, and his faith—was evident in everything he shared. He brought the history, the land, and the experience to life in a way we’ll never forget. We genuinely loved learning from him.

By the end, saying “see you later” (not goodbye!) was incredibly difficult. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We loved learning his native language, Quechua so this is for you Carlos!

Ancha sulpayki, Alpaca Expeditions, llapanpaq! Ñam kashaspaykuña qankunataña llakikuyku—ichaqa nanayniykuqa mana! Aylluykutaq aylluykikama, kankunaqa huk sumaq, mana qonqay atiy experienciata quwarqankichik, chaytaqa mana hayk’aq qonqasaqkuchu! Cheqaqta, sulpayki, Carlos!

We did the Salkantay trek with Alpaca Expeditions. We chose to do a private tour because my wife and I brought our two young sons at 8 and 9 years old and we did not want to hold up the others in a group. Carlos Arque, our guide made it so perfect!! He treated our boys like his own. By the end of the trip my 9 year old almost cried leaving Carlos. He felt like he made a new best friend. They talked for hours together on the trail. In fact, he said he wants to return to Peru in a few years to do another trip with Carlos. The chef Wilfredo made exceptional food as well!!
I highly recommend!! What a memorable trip our family will never forget!!

Our family of four had a great experience on our two day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour. Everything was well organized and made the trip so easy. I would highly recommend Alpaca Expeditions. And Abel was a great guide!

The Alpaca expeditions tour was incredibly efficient, well organized and a very pleasant experience. Our tour guides for day 1 & 2 were fabulous, knowledgeable and friendly. Absolutely recommend booking a tour to see this beautiful archaeological site because the history that comes with the person experience is top notch and fascinating.
