The day begins with a pick-up at your hotel and a transfer to the community.
The hosts of Amaru will greet you with music and beautiful native flowers, along with a symbolic offering to Mother Earth or “Pachamama” to give thanks for this new day and the opportunity to share it with brothers and sisters from different cultures.
After this welcome, you will be invited to join the community members to gather the flowers and leaves that will be used as natural dyes—plants that the “Pachamama” provides.
We continue with an explanation and a brief demonstration of shearing, spinning, and collecting the wool into skeins.
You will then see how the wool is dyed and the color fixed, concluding the process with traditional hand-weaving.
The iconography used in each of these weavings is loaded with great spiritual significance for the inhabitants of the Peruvian Andes, and our hosts will share the meaning of some of the most important motifs with us.
Lastly, we will go to the exhibition room to see some finished pieces with an opportunity to buy a variety of items, such as table runners, scarves, shawls, traditional style Andean bags, and belts.
Purchasing these items is the best reward for their work and their cultural identity.
Finally, we will enjoy a delicious Andean lunch, prepared with fresh local ingredients.
You should bring:
Comfortable walking shoes.
Sunblock and a sun hat.
Rain poncho (during the rainy season).
