The Textile Route

Visitors will have the opportunity through this tour  along  the Sacred Valley of the Incas to appreciate one of the oldest traditions that became the outstanding art during the Inca Empire.

The art of weaving is a form of writing or language made up of visual metaphors that express its worldview. The textile knowledge transcended through time from the preparation of the wool of alpaca, llama, sheep with esquila, the techniques of spinning using puskha, the use of natural dyes obtained from plants, minerals and insects to achieve the great variety of colors, then the use of  the loom  using stakes out, and at the waist to make the garments.
