Recommend!
We went on a llama walk and only received some information about the Andean Colours initiative. It is a very nice initiative and besides that the walk was super fun, the men who guided us (Israel and Aarron) were very friendly and caring towards the animals. I would definitely recommend going here!
Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por sus hermosas palabras y por recomendarnos! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de la caminata con nuestras llamas y de conocer la misión de Andean Colors. Israel y Aaron estarán muy felices de recibir su reconocimiento. Para nosotros, el bienestar de nuestros animales, la preservación de nuestra cultura y el apoyo a las mujeres de nuestra comunidad son fundamentales. ¡Gracias por ser parte de esta hermosa historia!

Amazing lllama adventure and story
They coordinated an airport pick up with Juan Carlos and started the adventure. The llama hiking to a scenic view was amazing. Then we learned about how they clean and color the llama hair to make thread and then clothes. The 30+ women coop is an amazing group we could not help but support.
Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir su maravillosa experiencia! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de cada momento, desde su llegada con Juan Carlos hasta la caminata con nuestras llamas y el aprendizaje del arte textil andino. Su apoyo a nuestras mujeres artesanas significa muchísimo para nosotros, ya que nos ayuda a preservar nuestras tradiciones y crear nuevas oportunidades para sus familias. Gracias por ser parte de nuestra historia y llevarse un pedacito de los Andes en el corazón. ¡Esperamos volver a recibirlos pronto!

Most amazing experience in Machu Colca!! Andean Colors.
Miguel was an amazing guide. Very informative and patient. Super talkative and personable. His crew was also very cool. The little man on the page had the most amazing manners. The llamas were very docile and easy to walk with. If you get Tomas, you’re going to be trekking nicely. Thank you Miguel and crew!!!! Wouldn’t come back to Peru without visiting you guys again!!! Great tour!!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're delighted to hear you had such a wonderful time with Miguel, our team, and especially Tomás. It means a lot to know you enjoyed walking with our llamas and felt welcomed throughout the experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and can't wait to welcome you back to Andean Colors on your next trip to Peru!

Good people
Our visit to this site was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Peru. Seeing the llamas up close was a fantastic experience—they have such great character and made for some incredible memories (and photos!). What truly set this visit apart, however, was the team running the site. They were incredibly helpful and informative, sharing deep insights into the animals and the local culture. Their passion and welcoming nature made the environment feel authentic and educational. If you are looking for a place that combines beautiful scenery with great hospitality and charming animals, don’t miss this!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your visit was one of the highlights of your trip to Peru. It means a lot to know you enjoyed meeting our llamas and learning about our culture. Your kind words inspire our team to continue sharing authentic Andean traditions with every guest. We hope to welcome you back again someday!

An amazing experience to get up close and personal with llamas. Miguel was our tour guide and he was great! If you want an experience with llamas where you get to walk them, feed them, and take pictures, you have to do this! Highly recommended!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed spending time with our llamas and that Miguel helped make your visit so memorable. It means a lot to us that you recommend the experience. We hope to welcome you back to Andean Colors for another unforgettable adventure in the Sacred Valley!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How does Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS compare to similar tours in Cusco?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 61. At $39 it is priced in line with similar options (typically $43). Best for families and travelers short on time.
Who is Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS best for?
+
It suits families and travelers short on time best, based on its 2-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS good value?
+
It is fairly priced. It starts at $39, close to the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.
How much does Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS?
+
Around 3 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Llama & Alpaca Experience (Cusco Region): ANDEAN COLORS 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.
