Peru Textile Tour

Peru’s textile tradition stretches back more than 10,000 years, shaping identity, ceremony, and artistry from the coast to the Andes. This journey traces that lineage, from ancient weaving communities in the Sacred Valley to contemporary designers reinventing heritage techniques today.

Begin in Huayoccari, where master weaver Nilda Callañaupa and her community preserve ancestral Andean methods of spinning, dyeing, and weaving. Continue to Machu Picchu and Cusco, where Inca history and Colonial architecture deepen your understanding of Peru’s cultural landscape. Along the way, visit the Sulca Textile House Museum to learn about Wari-inspired textile traditions passed down through generations.

Your final days in Lima dive into Peru’s modern fashion scene, meeting designers whose work bridges tradition and innovation, and exploring one-of-a-kind ateliers producing pieces rooted in sustainable craft. A visit with renowned textile artist Máximo Laura reveals how contemporary art can honor ancient technique.

This is Peru told through thread, past, present, and future woven into one journey.
