Llama Farm Visit in Ollantaytambo, Feed Llamas and Alpacas
From €28 per person
See availability →A llama farm visit in Ollantaytambo lets you meet llamas and alpacas with a local guide, learn how they differ, cut fresh grass in the fields and feed them, in about an hour.
A llama farm visit in Ollantaytambo starts at the main square, where your guide meets you and walks you a short way to a community farm in the valley. A community member greets you and presents the camelids Peru is known for.
You learn how llamas and alpacas differ, why they matter in Andean culture and what role they have played since Inca times. Then you join a traditional local task: going out to the fields to cut grass for the animals, as farmers do.
Back with the animals, you hand-feed the llamas and alpacas and spend time close to them in their natural setting, with plenty of chances for photos. The visit also backs a local community project, which means it helps the families who care for the animals.
