Jacklyn· June 20th, 2025My husband and I had a wonderful time on our 4D/3N trek to Machu Picchu! Our guides ronaldino and Jean Carlos were great. We learned a lot and they were very helpful toward anyone who needed assistance. Food was incredible and a highlight. Belisario and the porters were incredible and helpful as well. They did well with navigating some inconveniences on our way back as there is a big celebration going on in Cusco so they gave everyone private taxis to help navigate the traffic instead of in a bus which likely would work if it wasn’t to crowded! We lucked out with the weather with a perfect day for Machu Picchu . Would highly recommend this tour!Show more
Trip date: June 2025- Jared· June 20th, 2025This was an incredible trip made even better by the people. Our hiking group was great and our guides Ronaldino and Jean Carlos went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. It was incredible to see so many other Inca sites and Ronaldino's knowledge helped to deepen our appreciation for where we were. The prayer ceremony to Pacha Mama was a particular highlight as it added a truly special touch to the trip and made it feel all the more immersive. The food prepared by Belisario's team was incredible. Exactly what we needed (and often MUCH more) after hiking and each made had some fun twists thrown in. Without spoiling too much, we roasted marshmallows over a zucchini that was a very memorable presentation and obviously delicious. There are A LOT of stairs on the hike so be prepared for that but otherwise HIGHLY recommend this trip.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- Matthew· April 16th, 2025Everything about the trip was fantastic and I would thoroughly recommend the company. I gave it a low score but the trip very nearly did not happen for us. When I booked the trip my daughter was in the process of applying for a new passport. I told this to Touradar who advised me to book the trip and then supply my daughters new passport number once it had come. I did this 5 days later and was told by Touradar all her details had been amended with the new passport number. We checked in with Alpacatours 2 days before the hike and once again provided our passports for them to check. When we arrived at the entrance of the hike the documentation still had my daughters old passport number. We were only allowed through because my daughter had a photo of her old passport on her cell phone. This should never have happened and it could have completely ruined our trip. I don’t know if Touradar are at fault or Alpacatours but when you put your trust in these companies to sort the details out like this it’s completely unacceptable that this happened.Show more

- JLJohn· June 28th, 2024I thought I was in better shape than I was. The uphills were challenging but the downhills were very difficult. Luckily Tino and Umberto were there with me every step of the way although I am sure it was very frustrating for them. This also meant that our two guides needed to split up and / or use some porters to help me. I am an avid hiker in the Midwest of the US but I realized that even in more remote parks / trails here, there are many crisscrossing paths meaning that you are never very far a trail head or at least a road that will let you bail out of continuing. I did not realize that once on the Inca Trail, there was only one way off - to finish it. Tino offered a porter to help me get back to the trail head after day one but it seemed that 9 miles return vs 10 miles forward was pretty much the same; I also thought that day three and four would be easier. The support of the staff was phenominal. However, I think that there should be a warning in the brochure about the difficulty involved, and that there is no turning back or bailing out once started. The brochure seems to play down the difficulty or how good a shape one should be in before attempting this trail. To be fair, all the other hikers I saw (and I saw them all, passing me each day) did not seem to be having particular difficuilty.Show moreAlpaca Expeditions commented on this reviewDear John: Thank you for choosing to hike the Inca Trail with Alpaca Expeditions!

- CKChris· June 3rd, 2024My daughter and I had a great time. At our briefing Alvin explained the daily schedule. He was very knowledgeable and helpful during the 4 day hike as I was a little slow. The meals the chef made were incredible. The porters worked so hard carrying all of our stuff up to the camp to have it set up before we got there.

- RMRowelaine· May 27th, 2024Extraordinary experience with extraordinary people. My friend and I did this trek May 2024. It’s was physically challenging but very rewarding. Our guides, Nilton and Victor were amazing. Nilton is our lead guide, he’s very knowledgable and knows a lot about his culture and it’s history. You don’t just go on Inca sites, you learn about them. Both him and Victor are very attentive throughout the trek and they were very supportive and encouraging. I really felt taken care of during this 4 days. Of course we can’t forget our amazing chef and our porters. They set up camp and have our food ready as soon as we wake up. They carry our stuff with smiles on their faces. The hard work that these guys do is nothing short of amazing. They cheer for us when we start the day and at the end of our day when we reach camp.Show moreAlpaca Expeditions commented on this reviewDear Rowelaine: Thank you for sharing your review!

Traveler•Written January 2025Is it possible to meet up with my wife at the summit for pictures?
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written January 2025
You won't be able to join for the classic photo at the summit, as the permits are for different circuits. One option would be to purchase additional permits for Circuit 2 at 8:00 AM for both of you.

Asked on November 2nd, 2024Is there availability for 4 people departing on 1st March 2025? please tell me what time the alpaca expedition 4day 3 night classic Inca trail gets back to Cusco
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written November 2024
The 4-day, 3-night Classic Inca Trail with Alpaca Expeditions typically returns to Cusco in the evening on the final day. After visiting Machu Picchu in the morning and taking a train from Aguas Calientes, you can expect to arrive back in Cusco around 7:00 PM.

Traveler•Written November 2024In the tour transport drop-down information it says hike ends on day 3 and get bus etc but it's a 4 day hike? That's confusing because I thought it meant you're hiking walking for 4 days. If you elect to go on the vista dome train does that mean you get back a bit later to Cusco or is the bus the same bus for the expedition train AND the vista dome or does one bus leave earlier? We have to get to the airport and need the earliest bus. I just wanted to make sure that the tour is 4 days not 3.
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written November 2024
The Inca Trail is indeed a 4-day trek. You will hike for four days, with the final day culminating in a guided visit to Machu Picchu. Day 4 typically involves an early morning start to reach the Sun Gate and explore Machu Picchu, followed by your return journey to Cusco via train and bus. If you opt for the Vistadome Train, you'll have a more scenic return journey compared to the Expedition Train. However, both train options arrive in Ollantaytambo, from where a shared bus will take you back to Cusco. The bus schedule is aligned with the train's arrival times: Vistadome generally departs slightly later than the Expedition Train, meaning you'll arrive back in Cusco a bit later. If you're on a tight schedule and need the earliest possible return to Cusco for a flight, choosing the Expedition Train might be a better fit, as its bus departs earlier.

Asked on March 10th, 2024I have a question about the transportation and hotel after the hike. I see that you provide a pick up service from our Cusco hotel to the start of the trail. Once the hike is complete is where I am confused. You take us to a hotel for the evening. Is this a different hotel than the one I chose to stay in Cusco, and if so, is this hotel night included in the price. Then you transport us back to the hotel of our choice in Cusco?
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written March 2024
Note: Please note that from the 1st to the 3rd night you will spend the night in campsites. The last day we drop you off at the hotel that you booked on your own.

Traveler•Written January 2024I am wondering what is the standard rates for tipping the porters and guides?
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written January 2024
Many hikers ask us about tipping at the end of their tour with Alpaca. Tipping is of course 100% voluntary and should only be done if you feel like your guide, porters and chef have done an amazing job for you. Generally groups give collective tips that are shared between the cook and all porters including the head porter and is usually given on the last night of the trek. If the group pools together money and at the end each porter receives 60 soles and your cook receives double that, 120 soles, they will end with a great tip. Often, the tip for your guide is done personally and is generally 50 soles per traveller.
