Very good organised 2 day tour to Sacred valley & Machu Picchu, everything was clear and in time. Knowledgeable, professional guides. Wanted to say special thank you to our guide Eddie Puma and the team who were not only high professionals but also were very responsive when we encountered a personal issue with a forgotten bag, they worked hard and managed to get our bag back to a different city before our flight in just a few hours Thank you so much guys, best luck in what you do! Highly recommended
2-Day Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with Hotel & Vistadome TrainWow! What an amazing trip we had with alpaca expeditions! It was utterly superb from the first moment to the last! The organisation and attention to detail was truly astounding. Our guides, Ivan and Umberto were just the very best. Our safety was their first concern and nothing was too much trouble. They were well supported by the truly incredible porters and chefs who did an outstanding job cooking delicious meals and carrying all the gear. They are absolute heroes. They all went the extra mile with special things like a gentle wake up each morning with hot muna tea delivered to our tents with a gentle ”hello, good morning!” And hot water for washing hands and faces when we finished the days’ walking. We were lucky to have a great group of walkers who all supported each other also. I truly could not recommend Alpaca expeditions more highly! They are the VERY BEST!! Thank you for the most wonderful experience and fantastic lifelong memories.

Best time to visit Inca Trail
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn Inca Trail trips offer great value with smaller groups and reliable weather. Our fall tours come with nice extras - dedicated chefs cooking local dishes, hot showers at camp and also comfortable sleeping setups. TourRadar customers love that final morning walk to Sun Gate, arriving just as the mist lifts over Machu Picchu. The guides time everything perfectly to avoid crowds at ruins like Runkuraqay and Sayacmarca. Several autumn treks include time with local Sacred Valley communities before hitting the trail.

- Summer 2027
Summer brings the driest weather and clearest skies to the Inca Trail. Our popular 2-day summer options still cover key sites like Wiñay Wayna ruins and sunrise at Sun Gate. The full 4-day route takes you up Dead Woman's Pass at 4,215 meters - it's a real challenge but our travelers say nothing beats that feeling when you reach the top. The porters are incredible, running ahead with gear to set up comfortable camps and cook proper meals. Many summer routes include extra time in Cusco's historic center, Sacred Valley markets and also traditional weaving villages.
