This full-day tour, Walk with Alpacas in Cusco Peru, this is a cultural excursion in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. As we walk through the mountains surrounding a local community, we will learn about medicinal plants and see local farm fields. Alpacas were treasured as the most important animal for the Inca civilization. Their meat was consumed fresh in traditional preparations such as charqui and chalona; with their wool they made yarns and fabrics; his bones, leather, fat and excrement had diverse applications such as musical instruments, footwear, medicines and fertilizer respectively. Due to this consideration, they were preferred animals for religious sacrifices, the Incas thought that sacrificing an alpaca served to appease their gods. The textiles were very significant for the Inca empire because they had religious and social value. A piece of cloth was considered the most precious gift, it was a sign of social status and was exclusive only to members of the royal family and the highest officials of the Inca civilization. Therefore, they allowed only designated craftsmen to weave the alpaca fiber.
