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.

I had an incredible experience with Waman Adventure during my trip to Peru. From the planning stage to the actual tours, everything was organized professionally and thoughtfully. A special thank you to Luz, who was my point of contact throughout the trip. She did an outstanding job coordinating my itinerary and keeping me informed every step of the way. When my luggage was delayed, she quickly rearranged my plans so I could still enjoy my trip without unnecessary stress. Her responsiveness and care made a huge difference. I also want to recognize Wilbert, my guide at Machu Picchu. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and significance of this incredible site. He even helped me secure entry to a beautiful circuit, which made the experience even more memorable. Another highlight was my Humantay Lake tour with Jesse. She was energetic, entertaining, and kept the group motivated throughout the journey. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm made the hike even more enjoyable. Overall, Waman Adventure exceeded my expectations. Their excellent customer service, knowledgeable guides, and flexibility in handling unexpected travel issues helped make my Peru trip unforgettable. I highly recommend them to anyone planning to visit Peru!

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.
