What to expect

Sacred Valley
3 hours
Make your own way to Llama Pack Base Camp in Quebrada Pumahuanca (1 hour’s drive from the Sacred Valley approx.). Upon arrival, you will be greeted by members of the Local Guilds of Llama Breeders and an English-speaking interpreter, who will present the Llama Pack Project to the group. You will be asked to assist in the packing activity led by your local hosts. Then, you will leave the base camp and start trekking uphill at slow pace through a zig zag trail, walking behind the llamas with assistance of your local hosts until you reach the designated spot, where you will enjoy an outdoor picnic while you chat with your hosts, relax and enjoy the panoramic views and the Valley’s fresh air. After this nice rest, you will head back with the llamas to the base camp. Please note that, in the event of a storm the previous day or a community chore that prevents llamas from joining the trek, the rest of the activities will still be carried out (previous evaluation from the Llama Pack team).
