Alpaca Expeditions, Peru’s leading Indigenous-owned tour operator and one of the country’s most awarded trekking companies, has upgraded its digital platform to reflect the company’s successful growth and commitment to delivering exceptional sustainable trekking experiences in the Andes and beyond. Travel advisors and travellers alike can benefit from easier access to itinerary details, trip-planning resources and information that better supports booking decisions and client recommendations. In addition to enhancing its website, the company has expanded its offering in the hotel sector.
The website offers a more intuitive and engaging platform to explore Alpaca Expeditions’ award-winning treks and cultural journeys, including the iconic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, exclusive women-led treks on both the Salkantay and Inca trails, and alternative treks to Choquequirao, Lares Trek and more, including a growing portfolio of itineraries exploring various regions from Cusco to Lake Titicaca and the Amazon.
Designed with user experience at its core, Alpaca Expeditions’ website provides streamlined navigation, enhanced trip-planning tools, richer destination content, and expanded information about the company’s sustainable practices, community support initiatives in remote regions, and porter welfare programs.
“Our new website is more than a digital upgrade; it is a reflection of who we are as a company today”, said Raul Ccolque, the company’s Managing Director. “We wanted to create a platform that tells the story of our people, our culture and our commitment to responsible tourism while making it easier for travellers and travel advisors to find the necessary information to create and book authentic travel experiences”.
Key website upgrades:
- Simplified access to itinerary details, trip-planning resources, and information that supports client recommendations and booking decisions.
- Improved access to Inca Trail permit information and departure availability, with real-time availability messaging.
- Offers a stronger emotional connection through bolder imagery, immersing visitors in Peru’s landscapes and rich culture.
- A modern, mobile-friendly design optimized for today’s travellers.
- Greater visibility for community development and sustainability initiatives that travellers can support and participate in.
- Supports real-time enquiries and booking function, offering minimal steps between itinerary to form submission and direct contact with Alpaca’s res agents via WhatsApp.
- Solid access to guests’ reviews, third-party experiences, and recommendations.
In addition to enhancing its digital platform, Alpaca Expeditions has recently expanded its tourism portfolio by opening a new hotel in Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu. The operator plans to expand its hotel portfolio further in the coming years. Designed to complement Alpaca Expeditions’ award-winning trekking and cultural experiences, the company’s investment in hotel development enhances its ability to deliver seamless travel experiences in Peru’s iconic destinations. Additional details about the new property will be shared in the upcoming months.
“After 14 successful years of operating meaningful trekking adventures, expanding our activities into the lodging sector is a natural next step for Alpaca Expeditions. As an Indigenous-owned company, we remain committed to delivering truly authentic cultural experiences that benefit local communities and our dedicated staff while supporting our tourism economy”, said Raul Ccolque. “We will have more to share regarding our new hotel later this summer,” he added.
