Peru · FARMS
Good farm visits fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Leave Cusco with a guide such as Marileth, Marlith, Olga, or Holger for a 150-minute visit to Manos de la Comunidad. Feed and pet alpacas and llamas, see vicuñas and huanacos, hear about Inca camelids, and watch a traditional weaving demonstration before returning to your hotel.
“Great! very fun learning all about the different alpacas and lamas”
Spend eight hours with Valentin’s Pachamama Journeys visiting Ollantaytambo and Pisac, touring a Sacred Valley farm, tasting local fruit, and enjoying a chef-prepared picnic. Your private guide explains Inca farming, chicha, village life, and the purpose of the ruins, with hotel pickup and drop-off from Cusco or the Sacred Valley.
“Valentin is very, very knowledgable about Peru. It was so great having a guide who grew up in the Sacred Valley and knows the locals. It was so informative to learn about the day-to-day life of the Andean villages (e.g. diet, weather, economy, agriculture). If you want an in-depth and thorough understanding of this wonderful region of Peru, this is a great tour to take.”
Travel from Cusco to Pisac with a private guide and driver, walk an original Inca trail through the ruins, browse the town market, then feed llamas and watch a weaving demonstration at Manos de la Comunidad. Guides Patricia and Silvia are noted for clear explanations and warm service.
“Amazing day, super fun, tour guide so kind and informative. Driver was very safe. The views were amazing”
Pick a ruin, a ridge, a river or a table.
