Awana Kancha (Cuzco)

Swe four species of the native camelid family up close; alpacas, llamas, guanacos and vicunãs. These long-necked creatures have historically roamed the Andes and provided clothing, fuel and carried loads as domesticated animals for over 5,000 years.

There is so much more to this place than I expected! The llamas and alpacas are friendly and easy to get close to. The guanacos and vicuña have a good amount of space to be wild but you can still see them on the hillside. There is a display…

We went there yesterday to buy some real alpaca products. I paid 600 dollars bought one bedding and one scarf with traditional pattern. After we came back Cusco finished our lunch, we were ready to go airport. When we came back our hotel to…

Sitio precioso muy cerca de Cusco para poder disfrutar de los animales (llamas, alpacas, vicuña y guanacos), y conocer el proceso de tejido llevado a cabo por personas de diferentes comunidades andinas. También se pueden hacer talleres, como tejer tu propia pulsera de alpaca.

Bonita experiencia y con muy poca gente. Vale la pena visitarlo para ver a llamas, alpacas y vicuñas. Además te muestran como tratan las lanas. Muy amables además

You can see the alpakas and lamas, and they explain how the yarn and textiles are made. However, in the end the guide stayed close by us and pressured us to buy something in their shop. The shop is very overpriced (a scarf or (small) table…

This is a perfect stop for something different than archeological sites. You get to take a very informative tour to see the llamas and alpacas that they raise in their farm. Plus they demonstrate the traditional spinning, dying, and making…

Loved the experience we had here, getting to feed so many different beautiful animals and seeing the coloring, weaving, and crafting processes with our own eyes!

Encantador lugar para disfrutar, apreciar, alimentar y tomar fotos de los diferentes camelidos sudamericanos como alpacas, Vicuñas, Guanacos y llamas y conocer más sobre la cultura viva del arte textil por personas de diferentes comunidades indígenas que hacen del tejido todo un arte. Muy Recomendable !!!

Nice to see the animals and to get a chance to feed them. Knowledgeable staff to describe how the wool is processed and dyed. Also live demonstrations of wool weaving.…

Nos gustó mucho Awana Kancha. Cuando entrás, hay un cartel grande donde explican las diferencias entre los distintos tipos de camélidos sudaméricanos. Luego, al avanzar, vas encontrando muchos y de casi todos los tipos (llamas, alpacas,…

I love this place a LOT❣️❣️❣️ I was there 13 years ago for the 1st time and I still ❤️ this place.…

Cute roadstop to stop and play with llamas and alpacas, which may be necessary after driving up and down the winding roads of the Andes. You. Can feed and take pictures of the animals, though some are on a hill and are not accessible to foot traffic, so an optical zoom lens would be helpful.

What an amazing place to take children while in the Sacred Valley. You get up close and personal with the animals and learn the differences between them all. You are able to feed them (barley) and they always seem to be hungry! After, you…

Museo natural dónde hay Guanacos, llamas, Alpacas. Hay alfalfa para darles de comer. Y te explican la diferencia entre ellos. También como se tejía antiguamente, hay mujeres haciéndolo. Y los diferentes tipos de cultivos, maíz, patatas. Interesante.

this company explotes put andean native people of peru on their window displays like objects sewing all day long for a less than a dollar a per hour. this was even on the local peruvian news. mostly in their stores in lima

Awanakancha: Alpaca, Art & Andes You can’t travel to Peru without taking time to see animals native to the Andes. And, unless you plan on heading deep into the countryside, the very best (and…

It's an overpriced tourist trap. Really neat cultural things though, weaving, coloring, wood working. At the end the party takes you into the nicely appointed showroom. There you can view $27.00 Alpaca Socks, and $30.00 overpriced scarves and trinkets.
