Visit Camelids Centre in Cusco

About this experience

America’s most iconic animals — llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos — in a respectful and culturally immersive way. Unlike typical tourist stops, this experience is led by a local guide passionate about Andean culture and heritage.

You won’t just observe the animals — you’ll learn to distinguish between each species, understand their role in ancient Inca society, and discover how their wool is still woven into traditional clothing using centuries-old techniques. You’ll visit a community-run camelid center where the animals are well cared for, and where your presence directly supports sustainable tourism and local communities.
