The perfect way to experience the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. I did the 5-day, 4-night trek, and it was a dream come true. The trail itself was spectacular - traveling from the Andean grasslands through high mountain forests and descending through the cloud forest to Machu Picchu. We were particularly interested in orchids and birds, and our guide, Valentin, helped us find rare and beautiful species, including toucans. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, plants, and wildlife of the trail. His first language is Quechua, and he also speaks fluent Spanish and English, making communication easy. He also taught us Quechua words whenever we asked. His enthusiasm and love for the mountains really added to the experience. Our chef, Raul, was incredible and exceeded all of my expectations. Every day we had a wide variety of delicious traditional beverages, soups, main dishes, and desserts. My personal favorites were the lomo saltado, mango ceviche, and passion fruit drink. Every meal was something to look forward to. He even baked us a cake, which was amazing considering it was made outdoors without a traditional kitchen. Our lead porter, Heber, managed the logistics perfectly. Everything got where it needed to go, on time, and he was always friendly and welcoming despite how hard everyone on the porter team was working. His organization made the entire trek run smoothly, and we never had to worry about anything. I look forward to returning someday, and I would highly recommend Alpaca Expeditions and this team to anyone interested in the adventure of the Inca Trail. They made an unforgettable experience even better.

Waman Adventures worked tirelessly with me for 2 weeks to plan a completely customized personal tour when I could not fit their existing group tours into my available vacation days. Thanks to them, I was able to make my dream bucket list trip to Peru into reality, see/experience everything that was available, and make memories I'll always treasure. The itinerary was planned very logically to allow acclimatization/rest in between physically difficult days. The tour guides and drivers were always prompt, friendly, helpful, and ready to share facts and have conversations. Yeny, my tour guide for the 3 days in Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, and Sacred Valley, was a wonderful match. I don't speak Spanish, so Yeny helped me with complex transactions, sent me recommendations for restaurants and stores, and helped me get the desired tickets for Machu Picchu circuits 1 and 2A, and we had wonderful conversations during all of our explorations. Most importantly, I never felt like I was without a friend, even though I was on a private solo tour. She's highly knowledgeable about history, culture, and Andean geography, and recommended a great Machu Picchu photo book that I ended up buying for my parents. I would love to visit Peru again, and hope that I will cross paths with Yeny and Waman Adventures again. I wish that we could have finalized the tour itinerary and purchase a little more quickly than over 2 weeks, but I understand it takes time to create a custom solo trip and book all the logistics. I appreciate all the staff at Waman, like Luz, for patiently researching and communicating with me during the trip arrangements. Thank you for making my Peru dream come true!

Best time to visit Machu Picchu
- Summer 2026
Summer's dry weather (December-February) makes for reliable touring. Our most requested tour runs 7 days from Lima to Cusco, mixing coastal desert activities with mountain culture. People enjoy sandboarding at Huacachina oasis and tasting wines in Ica before heading to higher ground. The Quarry Trail becomes a smart alternative in summer, you’ll get views similar to the Inca Trail but meet only 2-3 other groups over three days.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn, March-May, combines great hiking conditions with smaller crowds, making it perfect for deeper exploration. The weather stays steady for multi-day treks and our Inca Trail groups really enjoy the sharp morning views and comfortable hiking temperatures. Several tours tackle Rainbow Mountain, where autumn's clear skies show off spectacular views of Ausangate glacier. Many autumn departures line up with local harvest festivals, where you'll experience genuine Andean celebrations along the way.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Machu Picchu in winter (May-September) offers a different side of Peru - you'll find fewer people around and the rains bring out vivid green landscapes. The 4-day Classic Inca Trail stays popular even in the wet season - our customers often mention how impressed they are watching the porters handle slippery conditions while still cooking great meals. If you prefer an easier pace, several tours take the scenic train through the Sacred Valley with extra stops at the fascinating Maras salt ponds and Moray terraces.

- Spring 2027
Spring (September-November) brings perfect hiking weather and our longer tours shine during this time. The 8-day packages that start in the Amazon are popular. You'll spot macaws, learn about medicinal plants and then make your way into the mountains. When trekking through the Sacred Valley, you get proper time with local communities. Our travelers love learning traditional weaving and sharing meals in family homes. For those seeking technical challenges, the Nevado Mariposa climb takes you up to 5,870m where you'll pick up mountaineering skills while experiencing real Andean village life. The classic 4-day Inca Trail hits its stride in spring with clear morning views from Dead Woman's Pass and nice temperatures for camping.
