We did the 5d/4n tour and it was amazing! We had 2 families with 7 kids ages 9 to 14 and they loved it too. The experience was better than we expected in nearly every way. The camping sites were all unique and the food was incredible. Every time you thought they were done brining out the food, more would come. It was all healthy food and nourished our bodies for the hike. Alpaca provided all of our logistics from our pickup at the airport to every aspect of the hike and they were always well-organized. I would Alpaca to anyone who wants to visit this part of the world.

Best time to visit Andes Mountains
- Summer 2026
Summer in the Andes mixes city culture with wilderness exploration. You can start in Buenos Aires learning tango moves before heading to Patagonia's untamed landscapes. El Calafate's glacier region is particularly special - you'll take boats right up to towering ice walls and hike through forests that few visitors get to see. The Machu Picchu treks come with porters who somehow serve up amazing meals at 4,000-meter camps. Our travelers love taking the cable car to the ancient Kuélap fortress, then hiking to spot toucans and monkeys near the 770-meter Gocta waterfall and also exploring remote mountain villages.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings excellent conditions for Inca Trail treks, with our travelers particularly appreciating the smaller crowds and comfortable hiking temperatures. Many tours combine the classic 4-day trail with time exploring Cusco's archaeological sites and local markets. The routes include early morning starts to catch sunrise at key points, experienced guides sharing deep cultural knowledge and excellent camp cooks preparing fresh meals at high altitudes. Some tours extend into the Chachapoyas region, where you'll explore ancient citadels, visit mummy museums and also hike through varied landscapes from deep canyons to cloud forests.

The winter routes through Argentina and Chile combine glacier visits with cultural experiences - you'll walk on Perito Moreno's ice fields, spot condors in Torres del Paine and explore traditional estancias. Several tours include fascinating stops at the thousand-year-old Milodón cave and also guided walks through the Patagonian Andean forest. Multi-day treks feature comfortable camping or lodge stays, with expert guides who really know how to handle winter conditions and help visitors spot local wildlife like guanacos, foxes and also rheas.

- Spring 2027
Spring is when the mountain flowers start blooming in the Andes, making it perfect for combining archaeology with nature walks. The classic Inca Trail sees stable weather this time of year, and our travelers tell us it's their favorite season for hiking these ancient paths. You'll spend time in the Sacred Valley visiting local weaving cooperatives, exploring Moray's circular terraces and connecting with local communities. The Salkantay Trek offers a more challenging option with varied landscapes, expert guides and surprisingly tasty meals at camp. Many routes include time at Machu Picchu, Cusco's historic center, the Leymebamba Museum with its collection of 200 mummies and also walks in cloud forests full of unique birds.
