Special experiences in Cusco

Days built around an activity rather than a ruin: cooking, weaving, photographing, harvesting coffee or spending a day in a community. They are private experiences with a specialist guide, designed for anyone who already knows the main sites or who prefers to understand Cusco through its people before its history.

The experiences

  • Gastronomy experience: San Pedro Market, chocolate workshop, cooking class with a chef, Pisco Sour and chichería, in seven hours.
  • Photo session: professional photographer and guide through the historic centre, with edited photos and video.
  • Coffee Route: a day on a Huayopata farm, from bean to cup, with a specialty coffee tasting.
  • Andean experience: farm work, pachamanca and music in a high-Andean community.
  • Chinchero with a weaving family: full weaving workshop, ruins and lunch.

All adapt to couples, families and groups, and can be combined with a classic tour on the same trip. For special occasions, anniversaries or proposals, tell us when booking.

Which one to choose

If you are interested in Peruvian cooking, the gastronomy experience is built around a class with a chef designed for beginners. If you want a keepsake of the trip, the photo session. If the countryside appeals, the Andean experience changes with the season: planting from September to November and harvest from April to June. And if you have a free day and like coffee, the Coffee Route goes down to a farm in Huayopata, at around 1,500 metres, where you buy direct from the growers.

Frequently asked questions

How long does each experience take?

The gastronomy experience and the photo session, about seven hours in Cusco; the Andean experience, about eight. The Coffee Route is a long day of 12 to 13 hours: departure between 5:00 and 5:30 and return between 18:30 and 19:00.

Do I need to be fit?

No. All of them are rated easy. The photo session is on foot over cobbled streets with a couple of short climbs, and in the Andean experience the work is in the fields beside the community, with no hike as such.

Can children take part?

Yes. The Andean experience is one of those they enjoy most, because the activities are hands-on, and the photo session adapts its pace to the family. For the others, tell us the ages when booking.

Can you adapt to special diets?

Yes. In the gastronomy experience the menu adapts to vegetarians, vegans and allergies, and in the Andean experience the pachamanca is also prepared with only potatoes, broad beans, sweet potato, corn and cheese. Let us know when booking.

Are they suitable for a special occasion?

Yes. The photo session is one of the experiences most requested by couples for proposals and anniversaries: we adapt the route and you can add decoration and drone video. Tell us the occasion when booking.
