We had a fantastic time walking in El Paseos de Los Colores with llamas and Fabricio. It’s an experience I super highly recommend. Fabricio is knowledgeable, kind and has a sweet sense of humor. The llamas, well they are divine. There’s an ever increasing chance of my becoming a crazy old llama lady after this walk. The views are spectacular! It was a little hard to get from where we were staying up to the meeting place in our car because roads were closed to cars in the town center but not marked that way on Google Maps. We were able to find our way behind town and up to the meeting spot. Fabricio did the tour in English for me, giving me plenty of time to ask questions and take pictures of my husband and myself while also managing the rest of the Spanish speaking people in our group. My Spanish is okay, but it was a real gift to learn about llamas, plants and geology in my native language. If I am ever back in Purmamarca I’ll be walking with llamas and Fabricio again!

Go walk with the llamas!

Beautiful experience
An unforgettable experience, Fabricio is a genius, besides the tour with the llamas he explained everything to us, you can tell he knew a lot. 100% recommended, if you go to the area don't miss this fantastic experience.

Such a cool experience!
GREAT experience!! Don't miss this, it was so fun for our family of four (including 2 teenagers) to walk with these sweet llamas in Purmamarca. My only recommendation would be to message the guide the day before to confirm the meeting location, as this was unclear and resulted in confusion on our day of the tour. Thankfully, it was well worth it. And if you get to meet Copo, please tell her I say she is 'la llama más buena.'

Beautiful experience!
I loved the Hike with the Flames tour of Los Colorados. They are very tame and the tour that is made with them is beautiful, you pass places that on your own you do not reach. It is highly recommended for all ages!! The attention of Fabricio very good, always attentive to everything.

Best day ever
Beyond astounding. Our guide arrived with the sweetest llamas possible, who walked calmly beside us and never complained when we cuddled and pasted and squished them. The walk was beyond beautiful and mildly challenging, but our guide stopped regularly for us to appreciate the mountains and the colours. We stopped at one spot, and were given a small talk about the history of the local Indians and their lifestyle (really interesting) in excellent English. This is an experience we will never forget.

Fantastic experience
Fantastic! We booked this as we thought it would be something unusual maybe unique to do whilst holidaying in the Salta region and we were not disappointed. The views were breathtakingly stunning and the llamas beautiful and gentle. Our guide spoke really good English and he was so helpful and informative in his explanations. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting Purmamarca.
