Alpaca Expeditions were excellent. We done the 5D4N trip with Rodrigo and Kendro, they were very both great guides, knowledgeable, professional and encouraging to all the group. The food was all very good as was the quality of tents and sleeping bags. Would highly recommend both Alpaca Expeditions and Rodrigo and Kendro.

Erica • traveled in October
I loved the tour! It was WELL planned out and executed. There were a few cons that weren’t really tour related. The first day after airport pickup, you go to your room and then a couple of hours later the first part of the tour starts. We are from the US and didn’t expect the altitude sickness to be so bad but we couldn’t even complete the first day of the tour because we were so out of breath and dizzy. We made the best of things and just kept our tickets to do the things we missed on our own that third day, since we had a late flight. Also, the room at the hotel was terrible (Room 105). The hotel was nice but the room we had was very un-accommodating . For example, there was a “decorative” hole in the ceiling that wasn’t covered and we heard dogs barking all night. The television was 17 inches and the light flickered. We asked to change rooms but were told “there were no available rooms”. The hotel was really close to the main square and in walking distance of great shopping.

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.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in the Andes brings unique opportunities for exploring Patagonia's dramatic landscapes. Our travelers particularly enjoy the W Trek in Torres del Paine during this season, noting fewer crowds and clearer skies. 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.
