This Peruvian Textile Tour is a one-of-a kind exploration of the Colors of Peru, specially designed for those who are passionate about culture, and interested in textiles and craft traditions. From Lima, the City of Kings, to Cusco, the Capital of the Incas, this is a rich and unique insight into Peru: get to know this amazing country through a hands-on exploration of its textiles, food and people.

See Peru through the eyes of people who live and breathe this country every day, and who are working to keep traditions alive and make a better life for those who live here.
