    This experience was a highlight of my trip to Cusco. To learn about every step traditional Andean textile dyeing in a very hands-on way felt so special. I loved feeding and walking the llamas and alpacas! The lunch provided was also very delicious. I truly recommend this authentic experience as part of your trip to Cusco.

    This was the best day trip experience I have had in Peru! The day began by feeding the alpacas & llamas, followed by a brief tour of the farm/workshop. The background information of the company was explained (in short a local company that produces fabrics in a traditional way & also helps women suffering from domestic violence, very good cause). This was followed by walking the llamas, collecting leaves for the dye, learning how to dye fabric, weave & more. I now have a lot of respect for those artisans who can produce such amazing fabrics. This is all in a rural location surrounded by gorgeous mountains and lovely staff (who are also very patient with bad weavers). Overall this is an amazing experience I'd recommend to anyone staying in Cusco or the nearby area. It is a bit difficult to access but that only adds to the experience. I cannot recommend it more & really hope this group sees the success they deserve!

    Absolutely blown away by how professional, informative and fun the textile experience was! We’ve been traveling Latin America for 8 months and this is one of the best tours we’ve done. I simply could not recommend Andean Colours more highly!! (We got a colectivo to Andean Colours and public bus back to Cusco, which is was super easy and cheap!)
