Day 1: Cusco – Sacred Valley – Machu Picchu Pueblo

We Pick you up from hotel at 8 am and drive for 30 minutes with your exclusive transportation and tour guide to Awanacancha (textile center and Alpaca farm), where you will see Llamas, Alpacas, Vicuñas, and guanacos. Your Tour guide will explain to you the main difference between these famous South American Camelids, visit the textile center to learn the weaving process and how the locals get the natural colors, and you can shop as well.
