We'll meet at San Francisco square at 8:30 am then go by public transport or car to Pisac market textile, where we'll have a stop to see more unique handmade textiles & souvenirs, to then continues to the village.

Once we arrive at the workshop the weavers dressed in their typical clothes will introduce themselves and explain more about the history of Incas tissue, also we will learn the process to create our own bracelet.

The first step is to shear the sheep's wool where our native weaver will tell teach us how to do it using a nonconventional tool.

Already with the fibers, we prepare them for washing with 100% natural vegetable detergent, such as the Incas washed their blankets and clothes!

The weavers also will teach you the ancestral way to create the yarn using a tool called "phuska" once with our finished thread we start the dyed which is also completely natural, using parasites, leaves, flowers, and other stuff to have many different colors.

Meanwhile, we are waiting for our yarn getting the color we do a pause to eat a delicious fresh & organic lunch.

Finally, when the thread is ready the weavers will teach you and give you a guide to start your own bracelet with the Incas technique.

Remember the community we're going isn't touristic so the villagers don't speak Spanish, only quechua (the inkas language) anyway they're totally open with new people.
