Guest reviews from travelers on tours in and around Machu Picchu

5.0 - Excellent

Incredible Inca Experience

A challenging and rewarding trek made unforgettable by an excellent team of guides and porters. Over 4 days of trekking we saw enormous and beautiful Andes mountains, countless flora, many birds, llamas, coati, and several Inca archeological sites, concluding with Machu Picchu. The Inca sites on the trail were much more secluded than Machu Picchu and we had time to explore them at our leisure. The Inca trail itself is an impressive feat - a stone path tracing through the mountains, up & down slopes. Climbing a set of Inca stairs at high altitude in a cloud forest was an unforgettable experience. I recommend having a base level of fitness and using trekking poles to better enjoy the hike.

The BEST way to see Machu Picchu!

I can’t imagine doing this trip without this company and especially our guide team. They went BEYOND above and beyond. When booking I highly recommend requesting Fernando as your tour guide, Teofilo as your chef, Vicente as your porter, and Yuri as your horseman. No

La Pachamama was on our side!

We had the most incredible experience with Alpaca Expeditions. Our tour guide Ethel Paola was incredible. We learned so much on the trail, she let us set the pace and she was a blast to spend meals with. King (chef) Julian outdid himself every meal and kept us surprised at his creativity. The group of porters we had were incredible and always making sure we were taken care of. The bond they have was like a family and we felt it the entire trip. We had the best time and thanks to La Pachamama, we lucked out with the most beautiful weather and experience. Thank you!
