What a unique experience!...

Kristin_G, Jul 2026

What a unique experience! From the alpaca walk to the textile workshop and traditional pachamanca lunch - all of it was amazing. My only complaint would be that our guide took a bunch of photos which he said he would send, but never did.

Incredible Cultural Experience

Cheri_T, Jun 2026

This is an immersive Peruvian cultural experience. The Inca, Quechua lessons from nature and the medicinal properties of the encountered botany is a delight. We were treated to a special sacred ceremony by the guide’s grandfather that enriched our time. The pachamanka (in ground cooking with hot stones) was delicious and we were hands on. The leaves we gathered from the walk were then used for the dyeing process. We loved the educational demonstration of what natural sources make certain colours. We dyed our own skein of Alpaca. The day was full of surprises with making our own stuffed alpaca toy and learning a traditional dance. The enthusiasm and outpouring of sensitivity to our needs and interests was unsurpassed. This is a must do on your list of tours in Cusco!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your beautiful and heartfelt review! We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed this immersive cultural experience and that it gave you a deeper connection to the traditions, knowledge, and way of life of the Andean communities. Sharing the wisdom of the Inca and Quechua culture, the medicinal plants, and our ancestral traditions is something we are deeply passionate about. We're especially happy that the sacred ceremony, the hands-on pachamanca experience, the natural dyeing workshop, and the opportunity to create your own alpaca souvenir and learn a traditional dance made your day so memorable. It's wonderful to know that these authentic experiences left such a lasting impression. Your kind words about our team's enthusiasm and care truly mean the world to us. Thank you for recommending this experience to future visitors to Cusco. It was an honor to share our culture with you, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Peru. Safe travels!

A beautiful Sacred Valley experience

arielreneefriedman, Jul 2024

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.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future. Warm regards, Edwin Pimentel CEO and Founder Peru Private Tours
