Ccaccaccollo is one of those small and scenic towns lost in the Peruvian Andes. There, some 50 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 talk and 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.

As part of our Machu Picchu 7 day trip we had this tour included. We were able to see women show the traditional techniques of cleaning, weaving and dying the wool, feed the Alpacas and get some tea for a Sole.
