Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
This morning, travel to Ollantaytambo town. The scenic drive through the Patacancha Valley features Inca terraces, waterfalls, and traditional farming practices. A highlight of the tour is the visit to the Patacancha and Huilloc communities, renowned for their weaving traditions. This excursion offers a hands-on experience of Andean culture with a weaving workshop. In Patacancha, visit the Awamaki Weaving Center to see the complete weaving process, from shearing wool to making garments with natural dyes. Learn about the tools used by the artisans. Try weaving your own bracelet with help from a local craftsperson - make your own souvenir to take home! After the workshop, you can enjoy a home-cooked meal made by a local weaver. Lunch includes soup and a main course. There will be time to wander around and buy some garments directly from the artisans. Before returning to the hotel, there is another stop to explore Ollantaytambo's ancient fortress which overlooks the town. Check out the market and walk along the cobblestone streets to soak up the local atmosphere.
