“I’ve been to Peru before to visit family but never had the chance to see the wonders of this country. After Meeting with Veronica when we landed in Cusco, I felt like I was in good hands. She took us out to a lovely restaurant and let us roam as we wished. The next day, we meet up with Michael and made our way to the sacred valley. The way he gave an honest and truly authentic explanation to the various sights assured me that we were getting the true Cusco Experience.”

Walk with your own alpaca in Cusco’s Sacred Valley, collect leaves for natural dyes, learn wool-to-weave, and enjoy pachamanca.
“This tour was a highlight of our trip to Peru! Walking with the alpacas was so much fun - it took them a little while to warm up to us but once they did they were so cute and sweet! The hike itself was beautiful as well, and we had a great time collecting leaves to use in the dyeing process. Learning about the steps that go into processing the alpaca wool into yarn, as well as dyeing, strengthening, and ultimately weaving with it was fascinating. This was a beautiful day and we would highly recommend this experience.”
Pick a kind of day, and see the best of it.
