Ayacucho Artisan Tour
We'll pick you up at 8 am at your hotel in Callao to go to Lurin Valley, one of the districts of the province of Lima.
To get to our destination, we'll cross Pantanos de la Villa, a wetland area home to migratory birds. Then, we'll begin the artisan tour by learning about the demographics of Lurin. A significant portion of its population migrated from Ayacucho fleeing terrorism in the 80s.
Ayacucho is known for its rich and varied expressions of popular art, which is why it's called the capital of Peruvian handicrafts. Immigrants brought these ancestral techniques to the Lurin Valley, establishing it as a reference for Ayacucho handicrafts.
We'll visit two traditional pottery workshops to observe artisans making typical clay figurines. Afterwards, we'll go to a tapestry workshop to see artisans working on traditional looms and learn about the production of tapestries, embroideries, and belts made from natural fibers.
Following the artisan workshops, we'll enjoy a typical Peruvian Creole lunch consisting of two courses and a drink. You can choose between a starter of salad, potatoes, or beans with corn and a main course of rice with chicken, aji de gallina, or beans with meat.
After lunch, we'll return to Callao and drop you off at your hotel at 3:30 pm.
