This was the BEST—dare I even say better than Machu Picchu?!—experience I had during my 3 week stay in Cusco! I will forever hold close and dear the half day spent hiking with llamas, alpacas, herding dogs (and pup on his first hike!) and of course, the beautiful new friends from Germany and the couple who led the hike. It was one of the most magical experiences of my life—and I have been lucky to travel the world and explore magical places. You MUST do this when you stay in Cusco! You will be forever thankful. It’s also an excellent and gorgeous way to acclimate to the altitude—hiking in the Andes highlands.

Amazing experience! My wife and I went on this hike together, and it was our favorite part of our entire trip to Peru!

An experience we will treasure forever

Once in a lifetime experience

Krista_D, Jun 2025

The hike with alpacas hosted by Reynaldo and family unfolded like a dream. My family of four, including kids ages 8 and 10, made core memories with our new wooly friends Inti (x2), Ponchito, Oreo, and so many more - plus puppies! Lunch was absolutely delicious and homemade, and the view at lunch time was breathtaking. We are grateful to our wonderful hosts for so generously giving of themselves to offer us this rare and exceptional day. We will remember it always.

Such a fabulous experience

A truly fabulous experience. I loved the trek through the Chinchero mountains. The views were spectacular and walking with the alpacas and llamas was so special. The lunch was also really good. Well worth it and so nice being out with these crazy animals. Just a note that there is alot of walking and alot of hills so make sure you've acclimatised first. Highly recommend

Great experience with “our” llamas!

Roberta_A, Aug 2024

Very unique and authentic experience. Reynaldo was a kind and informative guide. We all enjoyed watching the llamas and alpacas show their personalities!

Beautiful experience

This was such a great and beautiful experience, our tour guide picked us up at plaza de Armas we had about a hour drive to the beginning of our hike. We were greeted by his wife and the llamas and alpacas. They let us know they brought water and told us to let them know if we needed a slower pace since it was somewhat of an uphill hike. The tour guide took many pictures of us and we even got to bottle feed the baby alpaca. The llamas and alpacas were so sweet and walked at our pace. At one point in the hike I didn’t feel too well due to the altitude, so make sure you’re acclimated before doing this hike. However the tour guide had some oils to help me feel better and at our lunch stop they made us tea and provided oxygen for my head ache. They were amazing, the food, the views, the animals were perfection. Thank you so much

Best Tour Ever!

The absolute best tour in Cusco!! We loved every minute of it. Our guides were wonderful, but the llamas and alpacas were the stars! We will never forget this hike.

The views were beautiful,...

Andrea_I, Jun 2022

The views were beautiful, the guide was very good, and loved the food! The best part was my alpaca, Chocolate, who was wary of me at first, but my friend by the end of the morning!

Ausflug in traumhafter Umgebung ohne Touristenmassen

Frank_D, Sep 2023

Die Tour wird komplett von einer lokalen Familie organisiert und durchgeführt. Wanderung mit Lamas und Alpakas in traumhafter Umgebung. Es gab zwei längere Fotostops an wunderschönen Aussichtspunkten. Es konnten auch Fotos mit den Tieren gemacht werden. Das Mittagessen war komplett von der Frau des Hauses selbst zubereitet . Sogar das Brot war selbst gebacken und so lecker. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Erlebnis. Für mich war es das Highlight in Cusco.
