It's a unique bonding experience that will create lasting memories.
During the 2-hour hike, our knowledgeable guide and the alpaca owner will share insights into local agriculture, ancient traditions, and the medicinal plants found along the way. You'll have the opportunity to collect leaves, which will later be used in our private textile workshop for dyeing alpaca wool and cotton t-shirts (we recommend bringing your own).

In the afternoon, it's time to unleash your creativity. With the guidance of our skilled instructors, you'll learn the art of natural dyeing using the leaves you collected earlier. Dive into the vibrant world of colors as you dye alpaca wool and your very own fabric, creating unique pieces that reflect your personal style.
To conclude this extraordinary experience, we'll make your own alpaca with filtering technique, create your own souvenier and bring somethign special back home.
As the day comes to an end, we'll provide comfortable transportation back to your hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley, leaving you with cherished memories of our Alpaca Walk & Natural Dye Tour.
