Excellent hike. The mountains are beautiful. The Machu Picchu history is incredible. Highly recommend!
Mr. Luis was wonderful. He was an entertaining guide, but also very knowledgeable about the history and context of the various sites we visited. Very good English as well, clearly understood.
Sabi was great!! He was very knowledgeable, funny, and helpful! I would definitely book with him again and will recommend him and the company in the future!
Our guides Nilton and Marcos made this challenge hike enjoyable. Our group has a different level of physical fitness, but Nilton set up the pace made everyone feel comfortable and included. The lunch was totally unexpected, the variety of food will fit any dietary restrictions. Absolutely delicious! After 1st day hike to Machu Pichu, we got visit Circular 1 with the beautiful views of the whole Machu Pichu, can’t ask for a better weather. The hotel is very new and very comfortable, the only downside of the hotel is we all have to walk all the way up after a long day of hike. But we are not the only ones, that’s how all the structures are uphills or downhills in the Agua Clemente. 2nd day we visited Circular 3, the bottom part of Machu Pichu, a close look of this historic place…amazing! Oh…we were very fortunate to be able to see the sunrise from the V mountains. The train ride was beautiful and entertaining, everyone got a free hat, snacks and some snacks . Overall it was a once in a lifetime experience, it worth of every penny.
As a solo traveler, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Alpaca Expeditions. From the moment the trip began, everything was incredibly well organized, making it easy to relax and fully enjoy the journey. A special thank you to our guide, Juan Miranda. Juan was exceptional—knowledgeable, professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Peru. He made everyone feel welcome and cared for, and his enthusiasm added so much to the experience. As someone traveling alone, I especially appreciated how inclusive and supportive he was throughout the trip. The highlight, of course, was Machu Picchu. Seeing it in person was absolutely spectacular and exceeded every expectation. We completed Circuit 2, which offered breathtaking views and an incredible opportunity to experience the beauty and grandeur of this remarkable site. Juan’s explanations brought the history of Machu Picchu to life and made the visit even more meaningful. Thank you to Juan and the entire Alpaca Expeditions team for creating such a memorable experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Peru and looking for a first-class adventure.
The operation was seamless from beginning to end. We never had to worry about our luggage, destination or our safety! David made us feel like we were part of his Inca family. We learned so much and also had a lot of fun! Thank you to alpaca tours and to David!
Alpaca Expeditions was top notch!! The accommodations and restaurant recommendations were so nice! Driving in Peru is a little dicey but our drivers were great and got us everywhere safely! Our guide David Condori Villanueva was the absolute BEST! He was so informative and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond for our family and helped make our Peru vacation the most amazing experience! And he took the best pictures that really captured our memories! I recommend David and Alpaca to everyone who wants to learn about Inca life and experience Peruvian culture!
Our tour was great, all thanks to our guide, David Condori Villanueva. He met us the night before to explain to us about the tour as well as the Inca Trail we shall be doing with the same tour operator in a few days, and on the day we was superb, from pick-up to drop-off. We had private accommodation booked outside the tour and he went over and above in accommodating us and making sure we got everywhere we needed to be on time. His explanations were clear and lively, he took photos of us where we asked and we enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend!
Guide David Condori Villanueva, 2 day trip Machu Picchu. David was one of the best guides I have ever had. It was clear from the very beginning that guiding is not just his job, but his true passion. The pace of the tour was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of information and time for activities, photos, and simply taking in the incredible surroundings. One of the highlights was watching the sunrise over Machu Picchu — an absolutely breathtaking and unforgettable experience. Thanks to David’s excellent planning and timing, we were able to avoid the biggest crowds and take amazing photos without large groups of people in the background. He also knew all the best photo spots and was always happy to help us take great pictures. David was caring, attentive, and always made sure everyone in the group was comfortable. His English was excellent, making communication easy and enjoyable throughout the trip. You could see how proud he was when he received positive feedback from the group, and it was fully deserved. I highly recommend David to anyone visiting Machu Picchu. He made this experience truly special and unforgettable.
Our family booked a two-day trip to Machu Picchu through Alpaca and we couldn't have had a better experience. Booking online was easy and fast and pre-travel communication was clear. They had an office in Cusco and we checked in the day before we left to arrange the final pick-up details. The travel experience, accommodations, food and site experiences were all top-notch, and we felt like the company took special care of us. But one of the real highlights in a trip full of amazing moments was our guide, David Condori Villanueva. David is a kind, generous, upbeat and knowledgeable guide whose passion for the culture, history and science of his place is truly evident. He constantly went above and beyond to give us his time and his positive personality so we had the best experience we could. For two days we honestly felt like we were part of his extended Peruvian family. We feel so lucky to have had him as our guide!
