Breve 2 - Escursione di un giorno a Machu Picchu attraverso la Porta del Sole

We did the Short Inca trail with two amazing guides Nilito and Denise. The tour organisation was impeccable right from the pre-tour briefing, to the early morning pickup and the train to KM106. After the initial checkin we began the to walk a steep incline for the first KM. Nilito and Denise provided sufficient interim rest points and an unlimited supply of coca leaves. They kept the group together and well motivated. Lunch was a 5 star feast and I cant believe it was cooked on a portable stove. It was traditional Peruvian food and my thanks to the porters and the chef without whom it wouldnt be possible. The rest of the hike was flat or minor incline until we reached the sun gate for the most amazing view of Machu Pichu. We then spent an hour at the viewing platform admiring the engineering skills of the Inca. The overnight hotel and dinner was amazing. The next day we did circuit 3B with Nilito who explained the history of the Incas and Machu Pichu. We loved the experience as the group size was small, the guides kept the group motivated and most importantly we managed to see Machu Pichu through the sun gate (the sun god was very kind on that day).

We had so much fun on our short inca trail. Day 1 was tough with hiking but super fulfilling and amazing views. Our tour guide Angel was understanding for when we wanted to take a break and was extremely helpful with questions. He was knowledgeable and made sure to keep us safe the entire trip! I suggest booking

Angel was absolutely amazing. He was so knowledgeable and kind. He made the group feel like a family! The food was also amazing, and accommodations were lovely as well. I would recommend Alpaca to any of my friends, especially if they have Angel as a guide!

Angel was a WONDERFUL tour guide. I am an inexperienced hiker so the Inca Trail was a big challenge for me. He really helped me out and was so patient with me. The organization was fantastic, and I loved the route we did. We got to see both circuit 1 and a detailed tour of 3, so it gave us a chance to see the classic postcard view and walk in the lower terraces to explore. Our pickup wasn’t in Cusco, and Angel was so good at organizing our meet up and arranging things for us. It was an incredible experience, 10/10 would recommend.

We did a 2 day tour with Sabi and had a truly amazing 2 day trip. From the time we got our orientation we were set up for success. The logistics were clearly explained and every little detail was thought of and taken care of. The bus and trains were super clean and well planned. The hike was picturesque and the lunch on the trail was so great. Throughout the hike we were taught about local plants and birds as well as local traditions. The 2nd day we tracked to Machu Picchu for sunrise and had a wonderful time learning all the history. It was a truly memorable and magical experience

Great experience, very informative and great guide Angel!

We loved this trek! The logistics were so smooth, the views were breathtaking despite the rain, and our guides, Joyce our main guide, and his colleague, Ray, were amazing, so helpful, kind, communicative, and with really great explanations. We enjoyed their company and felt completely at ease and well looked after. The food was excellent thanks to the great cook Julio C. We couldnt recomment it more.

Alpaca expeditions and our guide, Angel, did an amazing job! We did the 2 day camping Inca Trail. Our only regret was that we didn’t book a longer trek. Angel was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. He went our pace, answered all our questions, and joined in our jokes. The food was AMAZING and they even did a great job of providing vegetarian options upon request. Thank you to Angel and the rest of Alpaca expeditions!

Superb experience. Lucio and Ingrid were phenomenal guides. Despite serious downpours at night, the quality of the equipment used kept us warm and dry. Lucio’s knowledge and ability to teach through stories was excellent. We learned a ton, got amazing family photos, met great people, and had wonderful family time. Thank you, Alpaca!

Amazing experience exploring Machu Pichu. Everything provided by the company was great….good transport, really nice hotel. Reynaldo and Denis were great hosts - friendly, helpful and welcoming.
