Llama Pack Project — Attraction in Urubamba

Amazing experience!! You must do this if you are near the Sacred Valley area of Perú! One of the most interactive, peaceful, spiritually enlightening, nature-connected things I’ve gotten to do in my life. If you love llamas this is about as good as gets. Incredible opportunity to learn from native Quechua/Andean communities how to herd llamas and their way of life. Off the beaten path, not touristy but catered to tourists. Perfect authentic adventure combining Peruvian and Quechua knowledge and a beautiful example of how we can all work together to create a harmonious world. This project is super helpful to the natural land, the llamas, the natives, and for the tourist’s soul. I will treasure this memory forever and will definitely visit again if I’m in Perú on the future. The people that run this place are angels. Some of the nicest, most genuinely pure, loving humans I’ve ever met and I left this experience more inspired than ever to help make the world a better place. I am now convinced llamas are the perfect animal. Such gentle meditative beings. A unique experience you’ll never forget. As you can see in the picture, it is the perfect gift for your significant other if they love...

We did a half day trek which consisted of hiking (relatively easy/moderate) with llamas and then a special traditional lunch cooked by our Andean guides. Shoutout to Sofia, our interpreter, who was passionate about the mission and a pleasure to spend time with....

What a fantastic experience! We did the half-day trek and loved it. The scenery is stunning, the llamas are endlessly entertaining and our guide, Alvaro, was a terrific companion and conversationalist. I am not being hyperbolic when I say I enjoyed it more than Machu Picchu. How often can you have this much fun while also supporting a worthy community initiative?

Regarding the hike: I am 65 years old and in reasonably good shape, and had spent a week acclimating to the altitude. I found the hike demanding but very doable. The website describes it as "easy to moderate"; I would definitely lean towards moderate, as I was quite tired and winded (but happy!) when we...
