Best experience, exceptional service, delicious food and amazing tour guide

Aug 2021 • Couples

We did the Inca Trail.Jose Soto, Sergio (chef) and the porter team were so amazing. This experience truly blew our minds away every single day. Jose Soto was an exceptional tour guide, very professional, informative, patient and so kind. Sergio's dishes were amazing. It was also my gf's birthday and Sergio baked a cake in the Andes mountains on the first night. The porters worked exceptionally hard to make our adventure comfortable and rewarding. They were very attentive to our needs and safety on the trail. We will forever remember this experience and the team. They provided us with a life changing experience. We strongly recommend Alpaca expeditions for anyone who.wants to truly have the best experience while also knowing the team is strongly experienced and equiped to handle safety and other concerns.

Excellent trek!

May 2021

Friend and I did the Rainbow Mountain Trek, Ausangate + Machu Picchu trek with Jose Soto and his crew. Jose is an excellent guide, and his crew made the trek an enjoyable experience. I've done a few other treks around the world and this company was certainly the most organized. I would love to go back and do another trek with Alpaca.

Great Trek

Nov 2021 • Friends

I loved my trek with Alpaca Expeditions! I did the Salkantay Trek and it was amazing. The food was so delicious and plentiful. Our Guide, Jose Soto, was excellent. Every Alpaca employee worked very hard to make our stay comfortable, even in the wilderness. Alpaca figured out all the logistics so that we didn't have to and I could not have had a better trip.
