Taking a short break to visit family and spend time with locals eco-dying using the techniques that have been used for hundreds of years in Cusco. We got to see the process in Alpaca, Vicuna and Llama wool. Went for a hike to the 7 Lakes of Ausangate where is so quiet you can hear the glacier cracking, watched Suri Alpacas waddled around with their beautiful wool, watched the Cora Cora fly around us, and took a dip in the hot springs of Pacchanta.
Big thanks to for guiding our Ausangate trek, every detail was thought of with eco-friendly options amazing lunch and snacks and very knowledgeable guide was an unforgettable experience. Big thanks to Marleny and all the ladies from a women's business association of textiles. Will never forget the warm welcome to their center, sharing their knowledge and making
birthday so special; can't wait to work with them in a cultural exchange at our farm. A stop at MachuPichu was a must, never get tired of the view. Over the Andes on our way to sunny Pimentel were I spent my summers as a child.
More updates coming up as we visit cotton and flax seed plantations, watch how linen and cotton is made then we will do some botanical prints with local flowers and leaves.
