Unforgettable Journey
Moments like these remind us that great journeys aren't just about beautiful places, but about the beautiful people who guide you. Thank you Bernabe and Elder .Our entire group can’t stop talking about how amazing you were. Thank you for your patience, kindness, and humor.Thank you for such an interesting and informative 5 days. Your deep expertise turned what could have been a passive tour into a truly educational experience. Huge thanks for navigating us through an unforgettable journey.
I wanted also to reach out and say a huge thank you to Chef Walter. You never disappoint and didn’t forget my lactose intolerance preference. You didn't just show us great food; you made us feel welcome and gave us a true taste of the local culture. What an amazing culinary journey!

Highly recommend!
As someone who often reads reviews to make my mind, I hope that if you're like me, this helps you book the experience immediately. Let me begin by saying the crew was absolutely amazing. Thank you Henrry for taking care of us, joining our videos, making us laugh and doing all the behind the scene jobs that we might have missed. The days went flawless, we had no surprises and knew every step of the way what was going on. We learnt so much from you. We also had the most delicious meals served by our Chef and his Assistant, Fabian & Oscar. The meals they provided were HUGE, healthy, tasty, and they cater to your diet (I'm veggie). I will miss the soups so much! The team not only cooks for you, but they do the hike too and have the energy at the end of it to make delicious meals and clean up afterwards. Blows my mind. We were also blessed by our horseman, Percy, who with the help of his mules, carried our duffelbags around to our next campsites, so that we only had to carry our light daypacks (water, snacks, layers). Without these incredible humans, the trek would not have been a solid 100/10. I am so thankful for their smiles, their motivation, love and pride for their work. The trek itself - beautiful, challenging (for me personally, day 1 was the hardest as its a steep start at elevation), and emotional. Bring BUG spray, not just mosquito spray for day 4 and 5. You'll need it. Also, the risk of altitude sickness is real, so come to Cusco to acclimatize with at least 3 full days or more if you can. Overall an amazing experience in beautiful campsites making great memories along the way. The journey is the destination or something along those lines. Muchísimas gracias a todo el equipo de Green Machine!

Epic few days
Epic 5 days doing the Salkantay treck with such a great group! Ricardo and Walter were fantastic guides, bringing good humour and knowledge to the long days and ensuring everything ran smoothly. The food was incredible and everything was very well organised - we loved the coca tea in the mornings and the hot water bottles on the colder nights. I recommend this treck with alpaca!

Great staff and adventure!
We had a great experience with Alpaca Expeditions. This was our first trek, and it was challenging, but finishing at Machu Picchu made it worth the effort.
A special shout-out to our guides, Ricardo and Walter, and the entire staff for their support throughout the trip. I appreciated having options like riding a mule or visiting the hot springs, which gave me flexibility along the way.
Thank you to the whole team for making our first trek such a memorable experience!

Life changing trek!! Thank you Ishmael and Raymundo!
I had the BEST time spending 5 days on the Salkantay Trek! Was a great value for money since it included the transportation, all food, the guides for the hikes, excellent accommodation and coordination of the Macchu Picchu day.
This was the perfect mix of exploring nature while still feeling very safe and comfortable with Alpaca Expeditions the entire time. Our two tour guides, Ishmael and Raymundo really made the trip extra special. Ishmael did a great job of sharing all the history of the Inca people in Macchu Picchu. Raymundo had all of the knowledge about any plant or animal anybody had questions about. On the fourth day our group was split between walking and taking the train and Raymundo went with me and my friend and walked 6 miles with us while everyone else got to take the train!!! I enjoyed spending time with the guides and getting to learn about their heritage and the native people of the area. The food and porter service was excellent - I especially liked meeting Rosita who is training to be a chef one day.
This truly was a life changing trip - I have seen some of the most beautiful nature in the world and had an amazing cultural experience! I would recommend this to anybody!

5 Days in Heaven
Edward is truly a legend in the industry. His respect and knowledge of the culture, country, and topography is truly a blessing and made for an expertly guided experience.
Edward’s stoic energy was beautifully paired with David’s comic relief and fun energy.
Our group was amazing, the trek is phenomenal, and I can’t recommend them any more!
