    5. Living Museum of Yucay

    There is no better way to learn than through experience. This museum is an

    be able to feed llamas and sheep, and learn about more Andean camelids.

    ancestral techniques, keeping alive the legacy of their

    ancestors. An experiential activity that will bring you closer

    to the community.
