Rute

1. Families live out of agriculture and textiles. The women do the weaving and the men are in charge of the farm. Women received the transmission from their mother or grandmother, who in turn received it from their mother; and so on. Here we’ll have the great opportunity to attend a demonstration about how the textile is made and have been made for years. But not only to watch but to be involved and make an interpretation of the different styles and shapes on the textiles they made since hundreds of years ago. A member of one of the families will tell us in Quechua (translation in English); the best techniques to understand the secrets of traditional iconography. We will observe all the process from the shearing of the wool, spinning, the washing of the wool with natural soap, the collection of plants and flowers used for natural dyeing, for this a local guide will direct us and tell us what plants we will pick up for this purpose and finally we will see the process of weaving clothes.

2. Afterward, visit the colourful Indian market in Pisac, where you can browse and buy some local souvenirs if desired. Continue driving to the ruins of Pisac, where you can explore the extensive ruins and enjoy stunning views of the valley. Here you will be given a guided tour of the Citadel of Pisac, in which you will see the ruins of temples, homes, altars, carvings, tunnels, caves and the famous Intihuatana. Intihuatana, the place when the sun gets tied, is a religious construction used like a clock to measure when it was the time to celebrate winter solstice - one of the most important celebrations and rituals of the ancient Inca Empire. For those who would prefer to spend more time in the market instead of visiting the ruins, please advise your guide so they can organize a time and place to collect you when returning past the market.

About Cusco

Cusco, den gamle inkahovedstad højt oppe i Perus Andesbjerge, blander massive stenmure med koloniale kirker og er porten til Machu Picchu.

Plaza de Armas er byens hjerte, indrammet af katedralen og jesuitterkirken La Compañía. Inkamurværk er bevaret overalt i centrum, mest berømt ved Qorikancha, solens tempel, hvor spanierne byggede et kloster, og i stenen med tolv hjørner i gaden Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, håndværkernes kvarter, klatrer stejlt med værksteder og caféer.
