Classic Inca Trail 4 Days to Machu Picchu

Raul Angel's knew it all! Kept us entertained with history, kept us safe, and happy on trail. An forgettable trip! They took care of everything. German kept us well fed.

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.

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!

We did the 4 day 3 night Inca trail with Alpaca Expedition. The trail was difficult due to uneven, slippery steps, steep inclines, and long days. We were rewarded with historic Inca sites and spectacular views. The Alpaca team was great. The porters carried heavy loads so we can have comfortable tents and warm water after each day. The chef made delicious meals every day. The guides ensured our safety and provided history and local information. The tents and other equipment are top notch quality. All made this hike a memorable experience. . I would choose Alpaca again.

I can't recommend this tour enough. Well organized, amazing experience. Hiking was beautiful and the porters and staff were so hard working, they carried everything, set-up camp for us every day/night and allowed guests to immerse in the magic of the Incan culture and natural beauty unencumbered. Also - the food, which was cooked fresh every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner was delicious, healthy and made with care.
