Yay Alpacas!

Went here with a friend and we equally love animals! The animals here are so well loved and you can tell they are taken care of very well! Would highly recommend making this apart of your Cusco adventures as all the money goes back to helping these beautiful animals!

Aurelio was a wonderful...

Aurelio was a wonderful guide! We enjoyed feeding the llamas and alpacas the most. A great cause to patronize and a very cool activity not far from Cusco!

Fantastic

There is a regular tour and a premium tour. Had we known that, we would have gladly booked the additional activities (feeding turtles, parrots, etc.).

All the furry (and feathered) friends!

This was my favorite thing we did in Cusco. It is evident that everyone who works here is passionate about caring for the animals and I learned so much. Cannot recommend this experience enough.

Such a nice time!

Benjamin was our English tour guide throughout the sanctuary and he was so lovely! So insightful and showed us all of the animals, and let us feed the alpacas!! The animals were so happy here, which was nice to see. So cheap as well! Loved it so much, and it’s cheap to get to! It was just under an hour!

Great visit!

Benjamin gave us some good info on the animals that were rescued and brought to the sanctuary. We got to see up close and interact with the local wildlife that are native to Peru and the Andes, especially the famous Andean condors. This is a great visit if you want a short break from the many moderate level activities available in the Sacred Valley area.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed learning from Benjamin and meeting Peru’s native wildlife up close, especially the majestic Andean condors. We truly appreciate your visit and support for our rescue and conservation efforts. —The Cochahuasi Animal Sanctuary Team
