Most incredible experience
An incredible trip and an incredible experience we will never forget. Javi and Walter were fantastic guides, and all the porters and chefs did a fantastic job. Couldn’t recommend enough
100% recommend
Incredible experience doing the 4D/3N Inca trail! Our guides Elisban and Deivid were fantastic - knowledgable, hard-working, and they went above and beyond all expectations. The food was fresh, diverse and delicious (unbelievable that they have to trek it all in...). I was also glad to support a fully Peruvian tour company that truly seems to treat their employees well and gives back to the community. I 100% recommend Alpaca to anyone doing the Inca trail!
So many rocks not enough time
This local company is on the mark. The trip does not disappoint. Our guides were knowledgeable and passionate.
4 day inca trail
It was a great experience with awesome guides. I’m also celiac which alpaca were able to accommodate for.
An Unforgettable and Deeply Grounding Journey on the Inca Trail!
Completing the 4-day Inca Trail trek was the experience of a lifetime, made completely seamless by an absolutely world-class crew. From day one, our Americo and Celio were the heart and soul of the journey. Their deep knowledge and passion for Inca history, culture, and native flora/fauna brought the ancient stones to life at every checkpoint. They paced us perfectly, kept our spirits incredibly high, and provided a safe, encouraging environment that made us feel completely supported through every challenging dead womens pass. Celio was my pacer as I was slower than others in the group. We were also blown away by the food—it is mind-boggling what the culinary team can whip up in a tent on the side of a mountain! Every meal was a gourmet, multi-course feast featuring fresh, clean, and nourishing Peruvian flavors that gave us the perfect fuel for the trail. The entire trekking experience was a beautiful balance of physical accomplishment and mental reset. Sharing this journey as a couple, surrounded by the silence of the Andes and the camaraderie of our crew, was incredibly grounding. If you are thinking about booking this trek, do it. It is a profound experience you will carry with you forever!
