Our family of four (two adults and two children, aged 9 and 8) went on three tours with Sam Travel Peru, all guided by Grober. The first was a one-day Sacred Valley tour, which included stops at Pisac, Salt Mines, Moray, and Ollantaytambo. The tour was well-paced with plenty of opportunities for photos. Grober provided insightful information throughout. The second tour was to Machu Picchu. Sam Travel handled all the logistics, booking tickets and bus arrangements, which made the experience stress-free. Grober met us at our hotel, guided us to the bus queue, and once again provided excellent insight at Machu Picchu. We had ample time to enjoy the views and take pictures. Our third tour was to Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain. We departed early, at 4:00 AM, stopped for breakfast en route, and arrived at the parking area by 7:30 AM. The hike lasted about two hours, with plenty of breaks for rest and photos. Grober, as usual, shared great information. Although we were scheduled for lunch, we arrived at the restaurant an hour early and decided to return to Cusco, arriving at 12:30 PM. It would have been nice to add another stop to make use of the extra time. However, leaving early allowed us to enjoy a quieter experience before the crowds arrived. Overall, we had an excellent experience with Sam Travel Peru and especially with Grober. We highly recommend their services.

If you ever travel to Peru, the land of the ancient Inca civilization, the most adorable animals that will welcome you and steal the hearts of every traveler are none other than the "alpaca gang" and the "llamas," fluffy and lively creatures that thrive in the Andes Mountains! 🇵🇪🦙⛰️
1. Alpacas & Llamas – The Fluffy, Grumpy Ruminants of the Andes Mountains 🦙🌾
These two species of camels are icons of Peru! Alpacas are smaller, with thick, fluffy fur and cute, doll-like faces, while llamas are larger, have longer ears, and tend to have a proud, slightly aloof expression. They often roam freely grazing in the tall grasslands, and it's especially heartwarming to see them toddling around while munching on grass or looking curious when they see a camera. I have to say, they're so cute you'll want to snap photos non-stop!
Must-see locations:
· Cusco and the Sacred Valley 🇵🇪: In Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire, you'll find locals in colorful traditional clothing leading adorable alpacas along the ancient cobblestone streets (you can ask to take photos with them, with a small tip as a token of appreciation). In the Sacred Valley, you'll see herds of alpacas and llamas roaming freely on local farms and vast pastures.
· Machu Picchu ⛰️: A world-class highlight! Seeing llamas and alpacas peacefully grazing on the ancient stone steps of Machu Picchu, with towering mountains and morning mist as a backdrop, is a magical and incredibly cute sight—like stepping into a painting.
Recommendations:
· If you encounter them in nature or at ancient sites, maintain a safe distance and do not disturb or startle them, as some llamas may spit if they feel unsafe!
· It's recommended to bring warm clothing, as these areas are at high altitudes. The weather is relatively cool throughout the year.
· For those who want a close encounter and to learn about the local way of life, try visiting "Awanakancha," a wool conservation and weaving center in the Sacred Valley, where you can feed and take photos with the animals up close.
If you're planning a trip to Peru, don't forget to prepare your camera and capture some photos with these fluffy creatures in this historical land!
