From €27 per person
See availability →A llama and alpaca experience in Racchi Ayllu: a two-hour walk from the MachuQolqa Viewpoint through eucalyptus woods to Andean Colors, with feeding and weaving.
This llama and alpaca experience in Racchi Ayllu starts high up, at the MachuQolqa Viewpoint, where you look over the valley, the mountains and the whole archaeological complex. Your guide and assistants meet you there, together with the furry companions who will walk with you for the next two hours.
The trail drops through a eucalyptus forest and then through the community of Racchi Ayllu, where you can watch everyday life: people leading donkeys, herding sheep and looking after pigs. The walk ends at Andean Colors.
- A downhill walk beside llamas and alpacas
- Feeding the animals fresh grass at Andean Colors
- Time with the rest of the herd, good for photos
- An introduction to the weaving behind Peruvian textiles
Once the animals have had their grass, you learn how the artisans of Andean Colors make their textiles, a craft passed down through generations. An instructor and the entrance are included. Bottled drinks, snacks, lunch and transport are not, and the route is not suited to wheelchairs.
