What travelers are saying
- Jana M8 contributionsWe can't say enough about how amazing our experience was in this tour. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
The accommodations were pretty good, better than expected. Our guides were incredibly nice and knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into the history and culture of the region. Their passion and expertise truly enhanced our experience, making each moment memorable.

Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Soto12 contributionsMy 5 friends and I booked the 2D/1N Short Inca trail with Alpaca Expeditions in mid-May. My friends are experienced hikers. I am not and was worried about the whole thing. There was no reason to. Our guide, Lucio, and the whole team walked us through the entire experience in the days leading up to the excursion. The hike itself was lovely and went off without a hitch.
Lucio has more than a decade of experience walking this trail (and all the others). You should definitely ask for him. We met with him the night before where he described the trail and the schedule. On the day of, he came to pick us up at our hotel(s) and we drove to have some breakfast and get the train towards Machu Picchu. We got off a bit before the final stop, at the base of the trail.
The trail starts in some ruins of a small village. Lucio shared some history and a preview of what was to come. He always had cool tidbits about the Inca and the people that used the path we were hiking.
The hike itself was tiring for me, as a beginner. My friends weren't all that bothered. YMMV. About 5 kms in, we stopped for lunch. The Alpaca Expedition team has a nice base right off the trail where they can take a break and/or cook. We stopped for an hour or so, ate some delicious food, packed up, and set off again.
It took another 5 kms or so to get to the Sun Gate and then Machu Picchu. This half of the trail had a few steeper climbs, but the food carried us! It was all worth it once we saw the city from the Sun Gate. We were lucky to have beautiful, sunny weather.
After viewing Machu Picchu from above (nice viewpoint only available to hikers), we exited the area and took a bus back down to the valley. The Alpaca Expeditions team had set up camp for us in this little property off the road. Tents were ready for us with all our stuff waiting for us. We showered and changed into clean clothes and sat for dinner. We had a lovely dinner, with Lucio sharing more stories.
The tents were great and sleep was comfortable, but a property nearby had roosters that would not stop crowing. Lucio had ear plugs for us (or bring your own). Use them!
The next day, we took the bus back up to Machu Picchu and visited the city itself. Again, Lucio had all the information we could've ever asked for, very-well informed. There were more great views from the path we had access to as hikers (can't remember #). Definitely worth it vs. showing up as a regular visitor.
After our visit, we bused back down to the local town, walked around, had lunch, and then took train back to Ollantaytambo where our pick-up was waiting to bring us back to Cusco.
We had a lovely time and I can't recommend it enough!
Shout-out also to the team that took care of us (carrying our gear, setting up camp, cooking, etc.) during our 2 days: Noemie, Florencia, Rostendo.

- Tammy SchmidtDelray Beach, FL1 contributionMarco was an excellent guide and we enjoyed every minute of our tour. Very informative, we highly recommend a private tour to get the most out of your experience.

- Kate YToronto, Canada2 contributionsI cannot say enough positive things about our INCREDIBLE guide, Francisco, our amazing team of porters and chef.
The trek itself is a bucket list item / a breathtaking experience, but Francisco really made the experience stand out as the best guided trek i have ever been on.
Francisco has an encyclopedic knowledge of Incan history, Andean culture and the regional floral and fauna. He shared personal stories and an intimate knowledge of the area that he had acquired through living with his grandfather in the mountains. These extra-mile moments made the trip so special. I left the trip with a vast amount of knowledge and curiosity. Most importantly, Francisco treated the entire group with an inordinate amount of respect and care, and we were all incredibly sad to have to part ways with him as we truly consider him a friend. Francisco is a one of a kind, charismatic, force of nature and anyone would be exceptionally lucky to learn from him :)
Same is true for our team of porters and chef. Despite a language barrier (and our likely embarrassing attempts at speaking Quechua, which Fransisco helped with), our entire team oozed kindness and the most positive energy. The meals were fresh, PLENTIFUL, delicious and the perfect fuel for hiking. I’ll never cease to be amazed by the sheer strength and incredible teamwork exhibited by the porters.
There are plenty of companies providing a guided tour of the Inca trail, and I would suggest Bamba any day solely based on my interactions and experience with Francisco alone.
That being said, I would encourage all travelers to do their research and make sure the company you’re booking with treats their guides and porters properly.
We had a few experiences with the office of Bamba that left a semi- sour taste in our mouths. First, we paid for renting trekking poles when we booked. Despite having an invoice for these rentals, we ended up paying again to rent poles when we showed up at our pre-departure meeting. Additionally, one person in our group lost their poles mid-trek (completely his fault lol) and after talking with the Bamba office, it became clear that the cost of these poles ($100 USD! for very well-used poles) would have come out of our guides salary had we not dealt with the issue directly. I absolutely disagree with Bamba’s policy of penalizing their (exceptional) guides for the carelessness of tourists.
All in all, I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
Francisco, if you’re reading this, we LOVE YOU and you’re the GOAT 🩷Written May 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Miranda B2 contributionsWonderful day with Filio! He was great at communicating with us the day before our trip and we had no worries about finding him. He was excellent with our 2 small boys and had lots of energy. He was also wonderful with my 75 year old parents taking a slow ascent. They never felt rushed.

I must say that this was one in a lifetime experiance. I recommend this for everyone. The friends I made in my hiking group felt like a family. The tour guides Orlando and Darwin were so knowledgable and professional. They felt like family, like my brothers and like my coaches. The memories I made, I will never forget! From hiking up steep hills through the Salkantay Pass to the tough downhill hikes through Cloud Forest. I felt I wouldnt have done this without Orlando and Darwin. They helped me unlock my love for nature and Peru and I will forever be grateful! Macchu Picchu and Peru will always have a place in my heart.

- Happiness7923771 contributionThis was a wonderful and memorable experience! The tour was nicely scheduled, and the logistics seemed effortless. Since it was a private tour, we felt like we could go at our own pace and not feel rushed and trying to squeeze everything in. We also liked how we had enough time in Machu Picchu to not only take beautiful pictures but also gaze into the scenery and really look around the old city and imagine and discuss what could’ve been.
Our driver drove responsibly and safely, and our amazing tour guide, Domingo, was extremely knowledgeable, caring, trustworthy, attentive, passionate, fun, and energetic.
We learned so much history and culture from Domingo, and he was able to answer every question with ease! It was so insightful to learn more about the background of these places and find out more information from a local than what you read on Wikipedia. We really appreciated the logical and practical approach Domingo applied to the potential theories of these places versus sensationalizing elaborate theories.
Highly recommend this tour and its setup. We felt really cared for and comfortable throughout this trip and so grateful for this incredible adventure!
