“The tour was very well organized, I've did Sacred Valley tours before, and this one had the right balance of scope and time spent on location. The guide was very knowledgable, and overall it was a lot of fun.”
Alpaca and llama farm tour from Cusco with a weaving demo. See vicuñas and huanacos, then return by transfer.
“The tour was fun and educational and while the gift shop at the end is lovely it is very over priced so be wary about that. The same yarn I purchased at a shop is Cusco for 15 soles was selling for 60 soles in the shop. But ... perhaps the extra funds goes to a good cause, who knows.”
Private Cusco city tour plus a South American camelid museum visit, with door-to-door transport, smart stops, and up-close alpacas.
“The tour was exceptional, our guide Christian was friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable and very informative. We enjoyed the entire tour and learned a lot. There was no dead time every minute was worth while. We highly recommend it.”
Visit Chinchero, Moray, and the Maras salt mines on a small-group Sacred Valley loop with a bilingual guide and clear photo stops.
“This was a great experience with beautiful views. The guide, Eddie?, was friendly and knowledgeable. The half day timeframe was perfect for catching an evening flight. I had a great time.”
Cusco textile workshop with natural dyes, hands-on spinning and weaving, Andean lunch, and llama and alpaca time for photos for $79.
“This was such an amazing experience. Marco and the rest of the staff were so friendly, fun and knowledgeable. The experience is held in the most beautiful location. We did it with our 8, 9 and 11 year olds and they all loved it. The team helped them were needed and they managed to participate in the whole experience. The food was lovely also. Right from booking the Andean Colours staff couldn’t have been more helpful with helping us with transport etc too. Would highly recommend this experience to anybody!”
Meet Ruth Pimentel in the Sacred Valley to dye baby-alpaca yarn with plant botanicals, then backstrap weave your own piece, with lunch.
“THIS IS THE BEST THING I DID IN CUSCO!!!! I was in Cusco for 5 days and this was by far the highlight. I saw all the 5 star reviews for this workshop so I was very excited for this day but I still didn’t know what to expect. Now after I have done the experience this was probably one of the top 5 best days of my life. Everything was seamless and beautifully curated. It was amazing to have an entire day where I didn’t have to make any logistical decisions or worry about food, transportation, etc. Edwin and his father led me through their deep cultural and historical…”
Half-day Cusco city tour with a bilingual guide, comfy bus rides, and key Inca sites including Qorikancha and Sacsayhuaman.
“This was a very disorganized experience. They gave us a time and then the day of they changed the time. And then we couldn’t find everybody for the tours and then we started even later. And the tour is English and Spanish-speaking. But the guides English speaking skills was not super good so difficult to understand, and was more attentive to the Spanish-speaking people.”
2 days in Peru’s Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by train, with guided visits, a 3-star hotel night, and a camelid experience.
“I recommend this llama experience tour. I traveled for my vacation to Peru and had one of the best experiential experiences in a rescue center with South American camelids, it is an inexplicable connection with nature to see the Andean condor and feel its majesty is unforgettable.”
