Inca Trail 4 day/3 night trek

My husband and I did the inca trail for 4 days 3 nights and our guides were sam and Valentino who were amazing. Well organised it started with a briefing the day before. The bus dropped us off at the start and breakfast provided. Day 1 of the walk was beautiful scenery and an inca site generally ok with a steep finish to the campsite. Day 2 was difficult but we were expecting that with around 10 hours hiking and a high summit. Day 3 more relaxed and Day 4 a hike to sun gate. All meals breakfast lunch and tea provided with opportunity to buy snacks on some days. The guides provided helpful information and advice and were very supportive nobody was left behind you could generally go at your own pace.

Every moment of this left me with…

Every moment of this left me with memories to last a lifetime. Our guide Henrry made the experience easy as our Spanish isn’t the best so him being able to speak great English was great. He led us through paths with unreal scenic views and educated us on the wildlife, flora and fauna and also Inca history when we arrived to Choquequirao, he doesn’t mind a joke or 2 also!

Hard to say if I lost weight because our chef Enrique cooked enough food for breakfast, lunch and dinner to feed a small country and I don’t have self control. The quality of the food itself is truly restaurant grade but feels like beautiful home cooking. Our porter Luis assisted the chef with the large quantities of food and all other camping logistics, including transporting all our excess goods with the mules camp site to camp site. He was so quick, he could clean, pack up camp, lead the mules to the next site and still beat us even if we left an hour before him. Truly remarkable.

Thank you for an incredible experience. Will recommend to all.

Cesar and Jose - The super guides!! Led us on an amazing (and challenging) experience that I will never forget. Our super guides took care of all of our needs and were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and traditional Inka culture. Our chefs made THE MOST AMAZING meals. They surprised us every night with something new and exciting. Morning Coca tea wakeups to get us going thanks to Jose and the chefs. Thank you for everything!! HAKUNAMATATA!!

I had an amazing experience with Alpaca…

I had an amazing experience with Alpaca Expeditions. My guides were Cesar and Jose and they were the best we could ask for. Cesar provided such valuable insight to every site and tailored his pace while hiking to our group very well. Jose was always available to help with every need. Our chef Ciriaco and the rest of the cooks made delicious meals that were healthy, balanced, with great variety. The itinerary was planned well and organized. Overall, I would recommend Alpaca to all my friends who plan to visit Cusco or Machu Picchu.

Incredible experience!

Incredible! Cesar and Jose were our guides for the 5 day Salkantay Trek and they were amazing. They walked at the perfect pace which was very helpful as this trek has some long days and some long inclines. Also gave fun facts along the way and spoke english very well. Chefs were amazing as well! Food was fresh and delicious. Everything well organized and our duffel bag always arrived at the accommodations before we did thanks to the horsemen

10/10 experience doing the Salkantay Trek with Alpaca Expeditions!

César and Jose made our Salkantay Trek experience amazing. Every day, including the hardest days, felt manageable because of the community they created for our small trekking group. César was very informative and I loved that in addition to the stunning views we saw on the hike, we also got to learn a lot about the Incan culture, history and wildlife. I had an amazing experience and will be telling all my friends and family about it!

Salkantay Trek May 2026

Our trip with alpaca expeditions was amazing. Equal parts hard and awe-inspiring. Our guides- Cesar and Jose, were top notch and taught us so much history about the area as we travelled through. They made our group feel like a family. The food was stellar. Very creative and the chefs and porters worked so hard to get to our camp sites ahead of us each night to make our arrivals hospitable. Overall wonderful experience!

Best trip i’ve ever been on

Best trip i’ve ever been on! Rolando and Raymondo were fantastic guides, everything ran smoothly and everything was taken care of. They were both very supportive on the hiking and everyone was looked after very well. Alejandro was our chef and the food was next level! So much food every meal, we definitely didn’t go hungry, amazing food. Would highly recommend using Alpaca Expeditions!

Alpaca is the best place you can book with! They really care about the people in the group. Rolando and Raymundo were the best guides you could get. They take time to learn your name interests and family which means a lot. Alpaca is very organized and has everything down to a perfect system.

Salkantay Trek with Rolando and Raymundo

I had an excellent time with Rolando and and Raymundo. Thanks to them we were always safe, learned so much about Peru and Inca history. Alejandro kept us very well fed with delicious Peruvian cuisine. I couldn’t reccomend the Salkantay trek enough, it is the trip of a lifetime!!! Alpaca is the best.

Had the best time on the salkantay trek - might've got lucky with the weather but less so with the altitude sickness! Rolando and Raymundo were absolute stars and had our backs at every turn - not sure we would have enjoyed this amazing experience half as much without their expertise and humour. Beautiful camp sites and scenery, made better by great food from Alejandro and team too. Would recommend!!!

Juan was an amazing tour guide

Juan was an amazing tour guide. We did the 2 day Cusco and Sacred Valley tour with him. He has deep knowledge about the Inca culture and the nature. He is patient in explaining and answers of questions. He is on time, good natured and has good recommendations for food. I will recommend him to anyone who comes to Cusco/Machu Pichu for a trip!

This was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Juan Carlos (JCH) was exceptional and his assistant Edwin is a great guy and very helpful. The food was great, particularly considering hiwbgar everything needed to be trekked in. The amount of historical and cultural education was excellent. So informative. Make sure you are in shape and okay with getting up early.
