Amazing experience at Andean colors
My daughter and I visited Andean Colors as part of an excursion with Peru Summit Adventures. It was a truly wonderful experience. Marco and Paulita took great care of us that day. The day started with feeding the llamas and alpacas, learning about the sheering, cleaning and spinning process of the wool. We also learned about the various plants used in dyeing and were able to dye our own yarn. We made beautiful weaved bracelets and enjoyed a delicious home cooked lunch. This is all set amidst the most beautiful scenery! The mission of Andean Colors is an important one. They are focused on helping single mothers who have faced great adversity leverage their weaving skills and expertise to support their families. I highly recommend a visit to this important organization.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your heartfelt and beautiful review. It was truly a pleasure to welcome you and your daughter to Andean Colors. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed every part of the experience — from feeding the llamas and alpacas, learning about the ancestral wool process, natural dyeing, bracelet weaving, and sharing our homemade lunch surrounded by the beauty of the Sacred Valley Marco and Paulita will be very touched by your kind words. Our greatest joy is being able to share these ancestral traditions in a personal and meaningful way with our visitors. Thank you especially for recognizing the mission behind Andean Colors. Supporting artisan women and single mothers through textile art and cultural preservation is at the heart of everything we do. Your visit and support truly help these traditions and families continue to grow and thrive We will always remember your visit fondly and hope one day to welcome you back again to the Andes. With gratitude, Marco Zuniga, Paulita & the Andean Colors family

Magical Experience
Where do I even start. This was such a magical experience. Maybe it's because I'm Peruvian and love the culture, but my kids (boys 9&12) also said they had so much fun. Which is rare since they would rather be playing video games. My American husband loved it as well. It was easy to communicate English. I might be Peruvian, but I don't speak Spanish 🫠 We got the Cuy and boy that was an experience for my son and husband. Although I don't think they will ever eat it again, they have checked that off their bucket list (Guinea pigs are pets where we are and our kids play with our friends....). We had a soup and dish and both were super yummy. 👌 they had 2 little-ish boys there that my kids loved playing with. They ran around outside and I think that was the best part. The alpacas and lamas to them are just like dogs to us. Except I was hoping I could hug and kiss them, but I was dreaming! Lol they are not the cuddling type 🤣😭 For me, just the view, the feeling that came over me and my kids being put there is a memory I'll carry in my heart forever. There is a store to purchase items at the end and we did buy a pillow case, we had to support them. I hope if you are looking for something to do for a few hours you consider visiting them. Last thing to mention. We paid $80USD for a round trip from our hotel to the location. We stayed at Union Hotel. Each way was an hour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your beautiful and heartfelt words. Reading your message truly touched us. It means a lot to know that you and your family felt the magic of this place and were able to create such meaningful memories together. We are especially happy to hear that your children enjoyed their time playing outdoors and connecting with our little ones and the animals. For us, seeing families share these simple but genuine moments is what makes everything worthwhile. We’re also glad you enjoyed the food and bravely experienced the cuy — even if it might be a once-in-a-lifetime taste for your family! Your support in our small shop also helps our artisans and community continue preserving these traditions, and for that we are deeply grateful. Thank you again for visiting us and for taking the time to share your experience. You and your family will always be warmly welcome here. We hope to see you again one day in the Andes.

Great experience
This was such an amazing experience and a highlight in my Cusco visit. I was the only one at the event and still received the best hospitality. Feeding the animals and making the bracelet was great! Everyone should do this experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. It was truly a pleasure to welcome you and share a little bit of our culture, our animals, and our ancestral traditions with you. We are very happy to know that you enjoyed feeding the llamas and alpacas, and creating your own bracelet using our traditional techniques. Even if you come alone, we always do our best to offer the same warmth and dedication. Thank you for recommending us. We hope to see you again in the Sacred Valley to keep weaving more beautiful stories together. #ExperienceAKaleidoscopeOfPeruvianCulture.

Really special experience
What an amazing 5 hours at this very special co-op supporting single mothers and women who have experienced domestic violence. We learnt the whole alpaca wool textile process from mixing dyes, washing the wool, dyeing the wool and weaving all with some very cute alpacas, llamas and a delicious lunch thrown in. Not just a tour to fill in a spare half day, make it a priority, it’s one of the best things I’ve done!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly happy to know you enjoyed the full Andean Colors experience — from learning the ancestral process of alpaca wool to sharing special moments with our llamas, alpacas, and our team of wonderful women. Your visit helps us continue empowering single mothers and preserving our traditions. We hope to welcome you again someday to create more #TejiendoHistorias

Special Memories
We spent a wonderfully special afternoon with Marco and Patricia at Andean Colores. The lunch was delicious and the scenery breathtaking, but what made it extra special was Marco's company and hospitality. We loved feeding the llamas and alpacas and enjoyed learning about how they create the beautiful textiles at Andean Colores. They even taught us how to weave our own bracelets. But the true highlight was learning about the founding of Andean Colores and their mission to support single mothers in the area. The overall experience was wonderul- delicious food, gorgeous scenery, fun activities and truly special people. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the lunch, the breathtaking scenery, and the time spent with our llamas and alpacas. It makes us especially happy that you valued learning about our textile traditions and even creating your own bracelet — moments like these are what make the experience so personal. But above all, we are deeply touched that you appreciated hearing about the founding of Andean Colors and our mission to support single mothers. This is the heart of our project, and your recognition means a lot to us. We are truly grateful for your recommendation and hope to welcome you back one day to share more food, landscapes, colors, and stories together. Warm regards, Marco Zuniga & the Andean Colors Family #TejiendoHistorias

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lunch, Llamas & Textiles Experience in Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Lunch, Llamas & Textiles Experience in Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $26 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 Lunch, Llamas & Textiles Experience in Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Lunch, Llamas & Textiles Experience in Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Lunch, Llamas & Textiles Experience in Cusco?
+
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 Lunch, Llamas & Textiles Experience in Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lunch, Llamas & Textiles Experience in Cusco?
+
Around 5 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lunch, Llamas & Textiles Experience in Cusco 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, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. 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.
