This morning, immerse yourself in the daily life of the Cuper Bajo community, located on the peaceful shores of Lake Piuray, high in the Andes of Chinchero.
Be welcomed by local families and experience authentic Andean living culture through an enriching and hands-on exchange. Discover the ancient art of textile weaving 🧶—from shearing and spinning wool to learning how they create vibrant colors using natural dyes from native plants, minerals, and insects 🌺🌿.
You'll also explore their agricultural traditions, learning about the native crops they grow—such as potatoes, corn, and quinoa 🌽🥔—and the deep connection they maintain with Pachamama (Mother Earth).
🍽️ The experience includes a delicious traditional Pachamanca lunch, where meats and vegetables are slow-cooked underground with hot stones—a true celebration of Andean flavors and community.
♿ This activity is designed to be accessible and inclusive, with adapted support to ensure comfort and full participation for every traveler.
A morning of culture, nature, and connection—shared with the warm hearts of the Andes. 💛🔥✨
