About Alpaca Expeditions
Alpaca Expeditions is one of Cusco's most recognised trekking outfitters, running guided hikes to Machu Picchu from its office on Heladeros Street in the historic centre. The company is a fully licensed Inca Trail operator and is known for its strong commitment to fair treatment of its porters, guides and cooks, many of whom come from the high Andean communities around Cusco.
Their core programmes are the Classic Inca Trail in 2, 4 and 5-day formats, alongside alternative routes including the Salkantay, Lares, Ausangate, Choquequirao and Huchuy Qosqo treks. Trips run as both group and private departures, with all camping gear, dining tents, meals and porter support provided. They also offer Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake day hikes plus extended multi-region Peru packages taking in the Amazon and Lake Titicaca.
What sets Alpaca Expeditions apart is its reputation for top-tier guiding and logistics — premium camping equipment, two-way radios on every trail, and a dedicated green programme that gives back to porter families. Years of consistent five-star reviews have made it a go-to choice for trekkers who want a well-organised, ethical adventure to Machu Picchu.
