We have travelled a lot as a family and this was truly one of the absolutely best experiences we’ve had traveling. It was an immersive day that was hands on, and not just a token small activity but gathering natural dyes, dying the wool, and then actually weaving!! A real opportunity to learn about Peruvian culture in addition to textiles. The women were so welcoming and patient. And add in a super yummy family style meal with the weavers! And the quality of the textiles and weaving is second to none (literally since one of the weavers at the center has won the UNESCO award for weaving twice). This activity clearly benefits the community too. I truly cannot say enough good things about this experience. It was a real cultural exchange too - this experience truly represents the ideal of what travel should be.
