Freddy and the crew were exceptional! I felt well-taken care of and had a great experience. I also learned a lot from Freddy. I will recommend them in the future!
Salkantay Trek & Inca Trail to Machu PicchuAn incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience! Trexperience were phenomenal from start to finish - our guides, Danny and Daniel, head porter, Benedict and head chef, Leandro, and all the porters were fantastic. Highly recommend!
4-Day Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu - Small Group & Vistadome TrainOn the first day of the trek, we unexpectedly had to leave the trail to seek urgent medical care. Alpaca Expeditions immediately stepped in to help. They consulted with local community members who shared deep ancestral medical knowledge, and they coordinated transportation and medical attention in the nearest village. When the medical staff advised us that the safest course of action was to return to Cusco, Alpaca Expeditions once again arranged transportation and helped coordinate our care. They even made sure we received our duffel bags with our overnight belongings while we waited at urgent care. The next day, they checked in on our father’s condition. Thanks to the care, compassion, and attention of Alpaca Expeditions, we were able to rejoin the group and spend the final day of the expedition together. That would not have been possible without their exceptional support. We cannot fully express how grateful we are to the staff at Alpaca Expeditions and cannot recommend Alpaca Expeditions highly enough. If you are booking the Inca Trail, this is the company to choose. Special thanks to our amazing guides, Jhois and Mel. ¡Tupananchiskama, Alpaca Expeditions!

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.
