What to expect

Embark on a transformative journey into the heart of Lima’s vibrant Shipibo-Konibo heritage. Your experience begins with a scenic 40-minute drive to the historic Rímac district, where your expert cultural guide will unveil the fascinating narratives of Peru’s indigenous peoples, their ancestral languages, and their enduring cultural legacy.

Upon arrival, you will step beyond the tourist path to discover the resilience and artistic spirit of Amazonian communities in the capital. You will be welcomed into the private home-workshop of a master Shipibo-Konibo artisan, gaining rare, intimate access to her personal story and artistic universe.

In this immersive session, you will go beyond observation to creation: guided by the artisan, you will learn the profound meaning behind the intricate kené designs and collaborate in crafting your own piece of indigenous art using traditional techniques and tools.

This is more than a cultural visit; it is a meaningful connection. By joining this experience, you directly support the economic empowerment of over 20 female artisans and contribute to the preservation of the Shipibo-Konibo living heritage. Before returning, you will have the unique opportunity to acquire authentic works of art directly from the creators, ensuring your contribution makes a lasting social impact.
