Why You’ll Love This Trip:
We’ll start by picking you up from your hotel at 2:30 p.m. and heading by transport to our first destination. Just 30 minutes from Cusco, Manos de la Comunidad welcomes us with colorful decorations made from alpaca and llama wool.
We’ll begin by visiting the most iconic Andean camelids: llamas and alpacas. You’ll have a unique opportunity to interact with the Suri, Guanaco, Alpaca, and Llama—feeding them, taking photos, and learning about them up close. You’ll also see how local artisans create traditional textiles like blankets, bags, sweaters, and decorative home items.
After this enriching experience, we’ll continue to Cristo Blanco, located 10 minutes away at an altitude of 3,575 m.a.s.l. (11,729 ft). This scenic viewpoint, near the Sacsayhuamán ruins, offers spectacular views of Cusco and the surrounding mountains.
We’ll descend along a cobblestone path for about 10 minutes to reach another viewpoint, San Cristóbal, located within the city. From here, you’ll get an impressive close-up view of Cusco’s beauty, perfect for more photos. We’ll then continue descending to San Blas, the oldest neighborhood in Cusco, famous for its narrow, steep cobblestone streets that radiate history and tradition.
In the afternoon, we’ll make our final stop near Qoricancha, where you’ll enjoy the hands-on experience of preparing a delicious Pisco Sour. Our professional bartender will guide you through the ingredients—pisco, lime, egg white, and more—and the correct proportions. After a brief explanation, you’ll create your own drink under the supervision of our team. If it turns out well, you’ll have the perfect recipe to recreate at home!
If you’d like, you can stay for dinner at the same location, where the restaurant offers a menu full of Peruvian flavors.
