  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.

  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!

  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!

  I think everyone who spends a day in Sacred Valley should do this event - it truly has everything we were looking for, all packaged in one easy place. We spent our first day acclimating to altitude here, and learned so much culture and had so much fun without having to worry about exertion. Marco, was the most organized tour operator of all of the companies we used throughout Peru. His English was impeccable (thank you), his responses to my questions were quick, thorough, and he sent us complete summaries of the tour plan, timing, various personalized options and prices in local and our currency without any prompting. Andean Colors was the only tour I was totally confident would run exactly as promised, so using them was good value, and great peace of mind. Marco also offered to arrange transportation for our group of 10 so that was totally looked after as well. His driver was super professional, punctual and the van was spotless. What an incredible afternoon - I think we would have gotten good value from doing any one of the activities in the tour, combined with the breathtaking photos we got, but to get all of them was remarkable. Truly, I think this place is an undiscovered gold mine. We started by meeting and feeding the whole herd of alpacas by hand and learning about them. By feeding them we were able to spend much more time with them, build rapport and be in close quarters with them without the animals being nervous. After lunch, we took them (although, truly they were the ones who knew the way and were leading us) down a path that was a part of the Inca Trail network to a jawdropping view and then the staff took pictures of all of us with our animals. These have been some of my favourite photos of our trip. As an animal lover, this is truly the way to have an alpaca or llama experience in Peru. They served a delicious, filling lunch, made fresh with local ingredients and told us about the food and why it is unique to the region. They showed us the ponchos they make, how to tie them and we wore them for the afternoon. They taught us about how to identify real alpaca products in the market and at the end of the afternoon, we were able to browse through their extensive store of both their own and other local weavers products. The prices were reasonable and it was great to know that the things were were buying were authentic and were supporting such a great cause (they support local single mothers). The afternoon was spent in a really entertaining series of activities - we dyed our own wool, ground our own moss to make the colors, ground the plant used to wash the wool, spun the wool (arguably the most aggravating part of the day, but that is just because I do not have good hand eye coordination) and then finally we were taught to weave our own bracelets using the local loom technique and took them home - it is the souvenir I feel most proud of! They had a whole team of staff helping our group of 10 - taking pictures, answering questions and helping out - and best of all, seemed to really understand the art of how to keep a group of kids and adults, competitive types and people who want to ask lots of questions all happy - there were games, jokes, competitions, bathroom breaks, water available - it just was all run so smoothly. I was super impressed. Our many thanks to Marco and family and staff, who made us feel a part of their family.

• A Heartwarming Experience with Andean Colors

  Visiting Andean Colors was one of the most meaningful experiences of my trip. This beautiful project empowers local women through a cooperative where they spin, dye, and weave by hand, using ancient Andean techniques. Many of these women have gained financial independence, helping them leave abusive relationships and build better lives. I spent hours immersed in their world—playing with the llamas, weaving my own bracelet, and learning about their vibrant traditions. The lunch was homemade and delicious, and the warmth and generosity of everyone made me feel truly at home. More than just a visit, it was a deep exchange of culture, strength, and resilience. I left feeling inspired and incredibly grateful.

  This is such a cool spot. We learned a lot about the textiles and how to curate the alpaca wool. Everyone was very nice and we enjoyed seeing the llamas and alpacas. They have a very affordable shop with a lot of options to choose from. They also had a guinea pig lunch that was delicious.

  What an amazing experience! We were received at Andean colors by Miguel Angel who accompanied us through the 4 hour workshop. We fed the lamas and alpacas, and then moved onto making our dyes out of leaves, mosses and cochonillas. We cleaned our alpaca wool, and spun it out the traditional way. Then we finally learned how to begin a process of weaving, and made our own bracelets! Andean colors is an out of the ordinary experience. We ate lunch with the family behind the project and learned about Hilda, the founder. To be so close to such a beautiful tradition, and to be taken care of with such detail and openness was such a gift! 10000% recommend this workshop (and lunch was deliiiiicious!). This is a project that supports women in different villages from the Andes, and truly deserves a visit! Gracias! Sulpaiki! We will never forget this experience!

  We had an incredible time at Andean Colors. We first shared a tasty lunch all together and then learned about textile fabrication, with an stunning view on the sacred valley. The team is super friendly and the activity was really interesting and fun.
