    BBQ, Farming, dancing, singing, lots of laughing, feeling like family!

    What an unforgettable experience! We wanted to experience a day in the life of the people in the villages, farming, eating their foods, etc. We traveled up 13,000 feet to where they live in their home and they accepted us with open arms. They greeted us with custom hand knitted attire they wear and not to mention lots of food, music and drinks! We took a bottle of Pisco to not walk in empty handed and they loved it! Once we got there, they had been starting a barbecue pit for us to enjoy some amazing, home grown food later on! While we were waiting for the food to cook, they showed us the tools they use to farm and also gave us some knowledge about farming, which trees are good for the soil, which trees are used for certain purposes, how to sing and dance, how to greet special guests, and so on. Then, we sat down on a table like one big family and enjoyed some amazing foods. the day prior we went to machu pichu and climbed wayna pichu to the top, but this experience was something I will never forget in my entire life. It was a dream of mine to come to Peru and to share this experience with unforgettable people was the cherry on top. You need to get this experience if you are on your way to Cuzco! You will NOT regret it! Not sure why my pictures are not uploading, but pictures won't do it justice! Thank you Nativo for accepting us and thank you Franco for setting everything up for us! You are all part of our family!

    Unforgetable experience

    The people of the community were very nice, they taught us different traditions and customs. We shared a fantastic day where I learned different things like their agriculture and their weaving. The food was delicious. I recommend it since it is very good to get away from all the noise of the city ​​and enjoy nature

    Amazing Muchas Gracias HUAMA community

    What an adventure!! It all starts with a necklace of flowers handed over by Nativo and then the traditional costume. A Musical Welcoming of Ilario on drums and Santos on flute. A tasting of corn and beans then a weaving demonstration with Francesca. Gavina was in the kitchen and Isabel came to join us. We “crushed” the potatoes to drain them of their water and then harvested some beans. All this ended in joy and good humor with Peruvian dances and also ....Breton "I hear the wolf the fox and the weasel" Thanks of course to our great guide Celinda and driver Roger An unforgettable day

    Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup madame et monsieur Peltier pour votre appréciation. Vous serez toujours bienvenu chez La Base Lamay. Nous sommes très heureux qui vous avez passé une journée inoubliable. Continue jouir à l'aventure.

    Fascinating and memorable experience

    Franco introduced our small group to the community who explained all about their farming and tools. The crop calendar they had made was amazing and showed unusual crops that the community grows. We took part in a ceremony to encourage a good harvest and then tried our hand with the tools. Later we were welcomed to eat with the community and other members joined us. The food was delicious. Later we returned to the village to prepare lots of food including ferns and purple corn. It was lots of fun and then we all sat down together to eat what we had prepared. An authentic community day which was enjoyed by our whole group.

    Lamay Community Day (Group Departure): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How does Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) compare to similar tours in Cusco?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 46. At $112 it sits above the typical similar option ($45), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families.

    Who is Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) best for?

    +

    It suits families best, based on its 5-hour length, all-ages access and non-refundable terms.

    Is Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $112, above the $45 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.

    How much does Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $112 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lamay Community Day (Group Departure)?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lamay Community Day (Group Departure)?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Lamay Community Day (Group Departure)?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Local Fee for the Community; Lunch; and Interaction and activity with the Community. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Lamay Community Day (Group Departure)?

    +

    La Base Lamay Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lamay Community Day (Group Departure)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Lamay Community Day (Group Departure) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
