This is a great opportunity for those interested in an immersive cultural experience, spending a bit of quality time with a Quechua family learning about the traditional Andean lifestyle.
This one-day trek extension includes a tour of the community and one activity. The activity will be an immersive cultural experience, such as a weaving demo, short community hike, agricultural activities (such as planting or harvesting potatoes, depending on the season), or alpaca herding!
You’ll spend the night with a host Quechua family and also share meals with them. The homestay rooms will be with your Quechua family hosts. In Huilloc, these rooms are basic but clean and comfortable, and some even include running water and a flush toilet!
