Chinchero Alpaca Hike with Picnic Lunch
From €38 per person
See availability →An alpaca hike in Chinchero where you lead your own llama or alpaca, with a guide from the local Quechua community and a picnic lunch at the Alpaca Lodge.
The alpaca hike in Chinchero begins 45 minutes from Cusco, where you meet the alpacas and llamas that will walk with you. Every traveller leads an animal of their own, nothing shared, while an expert guide shows the way and answers questions.
The walk lasts one or two hours and pauses often for photos and videos. The route winds through meadows and woods of a native Quechua community, and the level is easy to moderate. It works for families with children of any age and for friends, and also for trekkers who want to get used to the altitude before a long route like the Inca Trail or Salkantay.
Afterwards comes a picnic at the Alpaca Lodge, with views over the valley, in a spot few visitors reach.
- A local guide who knows the area
- Your own llama or alpaca to walk with
- A picnic, hot drinks and water
The trip from Cusco to Chinchero is not part of the booking; it can be organised for a small extra amount, or you can hire a taxi yourself. Tips are not included. The experience is not suitable for wheelchair users.
