    A Unique Cultural Experience

    I had an incredible time at Andean Colors! I saw the other 5 star reviews that said that this was a must-do experience and decided to book. Those reviews were not wrong! I booked directly with the company and they emailed me immediately with information. They organized my travel to and from Cusco (for an additional cost) which was super seamless. The tour started with feeding the llamas and alpacas and learning more about them, then they taught me how the different colors were made using natural materials and had me create my own dye for my wool. Finally, Paulita taught me how to weave a bracelet, and was so patient as I stumbled through at the beginning. It was really nice to sit there with her and talk to her about her story and how she got involved with Andean Colors and get to share a little about myself too. It was a very intimate and special experience. The incredible view made it all the more surreal. The tour ended with lunch, which was also great. Like everyone else, I highly recommend this tour! It’s a great way to get out of Cusco city, support an incredible woman-run organization, and have a relaxing few hours in nature. I did this before my 4D Inca trail trek and thought it was a great low energy experience that set the scene really nicely for some of what I learned on the trail. It’s a great way to learn about the culture directly from the people and leave with a really unique souvenir.

    Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir una reseña tan hermosa y detallada! Nos llena de felicidad saber que su visita a Andean Colors fue una experiencia tan especial. Paulita estará encantada de saber que su paciencia, dedicación y cariño dejaron una huella en su corazón. Para nosotros, lo más valioso es compartir nuestras tradiciones, preservar el arte textil andino y generar oportunidades para las mujeres de nuestra comunidad. Gracias por confiar en nosotros, valorar nuestro trabajo y recomendarnos con tanto cariño. ¡Nos alegra haber sido parte de su aventura por Perú y esperamos volver a recibirla algún día! 🇵🇪

    This was one of my...

    This was one of my favorite experiences during traveling Peru. Paulita was an amazing host! I learned so much about textiles and weaving and this tour gave me such an appreciation for the work and craftsmanship. I also love the mission of Andean Colors and it was great to be able to give back to the local community through this experience

    Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por sus hermosas palabras! Nos llena de alegría saber que Andean Colors fue una de sus experiencias favoritas en Perú. Paulita estará muy feliz de recibir su reconocimiento. Nuestra misión va más allá de compartir el arte textil: buscamos preservar nuestras tradiciones y generar oportunidades para las mujeres de nuestra comunidad. Gracias por valorar el esfuerzo de nuestras artesanas y ser parte de este hermoso propósito. ¡Esperamos volver a recibirla algún día en nuestra familia Andean Colors!

    Amazing experience

    This was a beautiful experience. I learned a lot about how to create different colors, using the natural environment. The teachers were amazing. Feeding the llamas and alpacas and the healthy lunch was a plus.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are very happy to know that you enjoyed learning about our natural dyeing process and discovering how we create beautiful colors using plants and other elements from nature. It was a pleasure to share our traditions with you, and we’re glad you also enjoyed feeding our llamas and alpacas and having lunch with us. Your kind words mean a lot to our entire Andean Colors family. Thank you for visiting us and for being part of this special experience. We hope to welcome you back to the Sacred Valley someday!

    A day to remember!

    I am traveling with my 21 year old daughter, and this has been by far our favorite experience. Miguel and Ani were wonderful hosts and teachers. From the amazing homemade meal for lunch to feeding the llamas and alpacas (and a surprise baby burro visitor) to learning the entire process of dyeing, spinning, and weaving we were 100% engaged. We were completely immersed in the process rather than just spectators. I can’t recommend this enough and if we were to come back to the Cusco region, we would certainly come back. Can’t recommend this activity enough—it’s great for anyone ages 10 to 100!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It truly means a lot to all of us at Andean Colors. We are so happy to know that you and your daughter enjoyed the experience with Miguel and Ani—from sharing our homemade lunch and feeding the llamas and alpacas (including our surprise baby burro visitor!) to learning and participating in the traditional process of dyeing, spinning, and weaving. Our goal is for every guest to be part of the experience, not simply watch it, so hearing that you felt completely immersed makes us very happy. Thank you for visiting us, for appreciating our traditions, and for recommending the experience so warmly. You and your daughter will always be welcome back at Andean Colors. We hope to see you again someday in the Sacred Valley! Warm wishes, Hilda, Marco & the Andean Colors family

    The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 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 The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 145 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 The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region?

    +

    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 The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region?

    +

    Around 51 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region 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), 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.

    What is included in The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region?

    +

    Included: Fresh grass to feed llamas and alpacas during your encounter; Lunch; Textile Workshop; and Wool, dyes and fabric tools to make your own bracelet or bookmark. Not included: Carbonated beverages; Breakfast; Bottled water; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Textile Workshop Experience in Cusco Region?

    +

    ANDEAN COLORS is located in the Racchi Aylla Community between Cusco and Urubamba, close to the PE-3S Road at KM 35. 08670, PERU Huayllabamba District Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    +
