Llama trek to Huchuy Cusco

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know before this excursion — altitude, health, diet, and what to bring.

Should I be worried about the altitude?

Yes. The hike reaches 3,800 meters above sea level. We recommend staying in Cusco for at least 2 days before the excursion, to give your body time to acclimatize and avoid altitude sickness.

What fitness level is required?

This is a moderate-level hike, accessible to most people in generally good physical condition. Please let us know of any medical conditions or physical restrictions when booking, so we can adapt the experience if needed.

I'm vegetarian or have food allergies, are there options?

Yes. The pachamanca includes meats and vegetables by default, but if you are vegetarian or have any food allergies, please let us know when booking so we can prepare a special option.

Do I need to bring my own water bottle?

Bottled mineral water is included in the excursion, but we are a family project committed to the community's environment — we kindly ask you to also bring your own reusable water bottle and respect the natural surroundings throughout the trip.

What should I bring on the day of the excursion?

Comfortable hiking shoes, a cap or sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen (biodegradable preferred), rain gear, a small daypack, cash, and your ID card (a copy is accepted).

Are hiking poles included?

They are not included by default, but are available if requested in advance when booking.
