Fantastisk dag, verkligen värt det

Niall_M, maj 2022

Vi hade en underbar dag. Det var en riktigt praktisk upplevelse, att spinna ull, söka efter naturliga färgämnen, förbereda ull för att dö, förbereda färgämnen, färga ull, linda ullen till bollar och väva pannband. Hela tiden hade vi utmärkt vägledning och förklaring. Utöver detta hade vi ett utsökt mellanmål och lunch. Vid lunchen var alla väldigt vänliga och intresserade av oss och var vi kommer ifrån. Till slut åkte vi hem med två vackra vävda pannband, 4 ullbollar som vi själva färgade och lite prylar från butiken. Jag skulle rekommendera denna upplevelse till alla i området, det var fantastiskt.

En unik upplevelse

Stephanie_G, apr. 2022

Vilken fantastisk upplevelse med familjen Pimentel! Från början till slut njöt vi verkligen av den kulturella rundturen och tillbringade dagen med att lära oss den traditionella vävningen.

Fantastisk upplevelse

Christina_D, feb. 2020

Detta var den mest fantastiska dagen. Jag känner mig så lycklig att välkomnas till denna familj för dagen och lära mig allt om naturlig färgning och vävning. Det är en så vacker konstform och så trevligt att lära sig om ett viktigt inslag i en annan kulturs historia. 10/10 skulle rekommendera för en fantastisk dag.

Amazing guided day trip, absolutely recommend

Jackson_F, apr. 2024

Absolutely wonderful experience!!! I was really excited about this experience but it still far exceeded my expectations. I am a textile nerd and I really love learning about different weaving traditions. I do some tapestry weaving and macramé as a hobby, so I was extra excited to learn. Our guide, Nayda, and a driver picked me and my partner up from our hotel in Cusco at 8:30 AM. There was also another guest who joined our tour group. We drove about an hour through the countryside, making a couple stops along the way for pictures. The drive had beautiful views! Once we arrived at the workshop, we got to meet everyone! Our guide translated between us and the weaving ladies. We learned about plants used for dyeing yarn and for medicine. We went for a walk to collect some leaves for dye and then had a snack. We dyed yarn and then got to pick 4 colors of yarn that was already dyed to make our bracelets. (Bookmarks were an option, but we all chose bracelets.) The ladies started our bracelets to show us how to weave. We ate lunch together and it was fantastic! After that, there was a short break. Our group enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere and beautiful scenery before sitting down to weave. We worked on our bracelets for a while. I learned so much! It was not super easy to pick up quickly, but the ladies and our guide helped us every step of the way. Towards the end, our guide taught us about the traditional clothes and dressed us up. We all danced together for a song, which was lovely! We then had an opportunity to peruse the store. Honestly, it was not as expensive as I expected, and I made several purchases. We also got to take the yarn that we dyed home! Overall, this was such a wonderful experience and I am so glad we did this. The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful, I learned a lot about textile techniques, and I felt like I got to be more immersed in the regional culture. Our guide, Nayda, was absolutely wonderful and I would definitely recommend this experience!

Outstanding!

KRISTEN_H, dec. 2023

This experience was beyond expectations! I had a wonderful time. I'm a Textile Designer as my career so this tour was very meaningful to me. It did not dissapoint! First of all, NAYDA is the best at what she does. I was fortunate to have her all to myself on my tour as this is off-season. I was completely at ease with her as she answered a million questions from me throughout the day. She helped me navigate the ATM and a local bank to exchange cash. I was so grateful to have her with me as I speak zero spanish!! The tour: Nayda was flexible and stopped for scenic pix and even a bite to eat which was their delicacy: Guinea pig!!!! The day spent at the Textile workshop was magical. We started by gagething leaves to be dyed. Both Nayda and the traditional weaver woman named Dahlia knew everything about plants and what their purposes were. So much knowledge! We then dyed yarns. A beautiful lunch spread was prepared, and it was robust and delicious. After lunch, I was shown traditional spinning techniques and then weaving! I made my own pretty bookmark. I definitely have such appreciation for the Andes women weavers. Their Textiles are stunning. Dahlia is so very talented!! I highly recommend this excursion, and try to request Nayda!! Thank you!

Perfect way to spend a day

Tara_M, nov. 2023

This experience was excellent. We had the privilege of learning how communities of Quechua women weave their complex textiles. Everything from pick up in Cusco, foraging for leaves to dye wool, lunch, weaving, the return trip to Cusco, and little details in between exceeded our expectations.

Amazing textile experience

Chloe_L, okt. 2023

We had an amazing immersive experience learning about the textile process. We got to try all steps, including spinning, picking leaves for dyes, preparing and dying alpaca wool, and weaving. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes arts, textiles, and by hand making. Thanks for having us :)

Trip Highlight

Fern_D, juli 2023

I am not really sure where to begin. This outing was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Nayda, Martina and Delia were welcoming and a joy to be around. They provided both excellent, patient instruction and fresh, delicious food. There was even some dancing thrown in at the end of our day. I highly recommend this weaving workshop. I figured my friend and I would like it based on the activity description, but it was so much more than what we anticipated!

Svar från värd, aug. 2023

Would do this again definitely!

Manuel_B, juni 2023

This is an awesome experience to book. It's definitely a one of a kind thing. I was able to create my own bracelet, from beginning to end. Honestly, the people who dedicate to learn this art havey respect. You really get to see how tedious and detailed the work is. If you're on the fence about doing this, go for it, Nayda and Delia will make this experience an 11/10.

An outstanding experience

Karen_C, juni 2023

I can’t say enough about just how good this experience was. I was the only person on the day I booked and was looked after from the moment of pick up by my super friendly driver Pedro. I was warmly greeted by Nayda Delia and the inclusive experience began there, from picking the herbs to drink, leaves for the dying process, actually dying the yarns & then setting up & using a back strap loom. The whole day is completely integral, I learned SO much and have a new found respect for just how hard & time consuming the traditional process is. We had lots of fun, a super heathy lunch and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. And I left with a bracelet I’d mostly made myself. We even had a dance at the end! An outstanding arty experience that I’d recommend to anyone. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

Svar från värd, juni 2023

Dear Karen, Wow! We are absolutely thrilled to hear about your incredible experience with us. Your kind words and enthusiasm truly warmed our hearts. From the moment of pick-up, our aim is to provide a personalized and memorable experience, and we're delighted that Pedro, your super friendly driver, made you feel well taken care of right from the start. The warm greetings from Nayda and Delia set the tone for the inclusive and immersive journey that awaited you. It's fantastic to hear that every aspect of the day was integral to the experience, from handpicking herbs and leaves for the dying process to actually dying the yarns and engaging in the intricate art of setting up and using a back strap loom. We're thrilled that you learned so much and gained a newfound respect for the hard work and time that goes into the traditional process. It's truly remarkable how much we can learn and appreciate through immersive experiences like these. We're glad that fun and enjoyment were an integral part of the day as well, and we're delighted to hear that you had a super healthy lunch and thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

And a dance at the end sounds like the perfect way to celebrate and create lasting memories. Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation. Your words truly mean the world to us. We wish we could give you 10 stars too! It was our absolute pleasure to provide you with an outstanding arty experience, and we sincerely hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments in the future.

Amazing people, really valuable experience!

Nora_G, apr. 2023

This experience was well worth it. From being picked up at my hotel and driven to Calca by the very kind and informative driver Pedro, you can tell how much effort and skill Peru Private Tours puts into this workshop. Delia and Naydiss did an incredible job of not just providing information on their craft, but also hands-on experience. They were friendly, funny, and taught me about local traditions and knowledge that I didn’t learn about in any of my other experiences in Cusco or the Sacred Valley. In my day at the workshop, I made yarn from wool, collected plants on the hillside to dye wool, learned (but sadly forgot) some Quechua, wove a bincha (headband), danced, and ate a delicious homecooked meal. If you’re traveling solo like I was, don’t let that hold you back. They were so welcoming, and I’ll cherish this experience for a lifetime. Thank you Naydiss, Delia, and Pedro!!

Best Textile experience ever!

Mirjam_R, dec. 2022

This workshop exceeded my expectation, it was everything I hoped for and then some! Anyone wanting an authentic Andean textile workshop should sign up. This isn’t the kind of workshop where there is someone showing you how they do this, in this workshop it is you actually collecting leaves, do the dying, learn to spin the yarn, and do the weaving (sometimes with a little help if needed, or wanted!). Edwin is a gem and so informative, with tremendous respect for preserving the Andean traditions and artisanship. I can’t wait to come back and bring some friends! Highly recommend this!

Svar från värd, maj 2023

Dear Mirjam, Thank you so much for your amazing 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that our workshop exceeded your expectations and provided you with an authentic Andean textile experience. We take great pride in offering hands-on workshops where participants like yourself can actively engage in every step of the process. From collecting leaves to dyeing the yarn, spinning, and weaving, we aim to provide an immersive and enriching experience. We're glad that you found this approach to be exactly what you were looking for, allowing you to truly connect with the art and traditions of the Andean culture. We're delighted that you enjoyed the guidance and expertise of Edwin, who is truly a gem in our team. His dedication to preserving Andean traditions and artisanship is commendable, and he strives to provide informative and engaging experiences for our guests. We will make sure to share your kind words with him. It's fantastic to hear that you had such a positive experience that you're already looking forward to returning and bringing some friends along.

We can't wait to welcome you back and create more wonderful memories together! Best regards, Edwin Pimentel Owner, Peru Private Tours

Very Informative

JeanAnn_W, juli 2022

Had a great day in Calca, learning about the natural, traditional ways to prepare yarn, collect plants, create dyes, dye yarn and finally weave. Note that the weaving part is REALLY challenging (in a good, educational way). It gives you a whole new perspective for the true art that these communities create. It is so valuable to society that they are maintaining their traditional ways. I feel privileged to have learned even a little bit. My only critique is that I wish that I knew that it was an hour+ drive from Cuzco. It would not have impacted my desire to take the class, it just would have been nice to know in advance. The driver arrived precisely on time and was very professional. So Edwin and his family did make it very easy. Oh, and lunch was delicious too!

Svar från värd, aug. 2022

Hello dear Jean Thank you so much for your honest review, we are really happy to know you loved our experience. We are taking note your critique and we will keep working har to improve our service. hope to see you next time, best regards

A very meaningful and unforgettable experience!

Ashley_B, juli 2022

THIS IS THE BEST THING I DID IN CUSCO!!!! I was in Cusco for 5 days and this was by far the highlight. I saw all the 5 star reviews for this workshop so I was very excited for this day but I still didn’t know what to expect. Now after I have done the experience this was probably one of the top 5 best days of my life. Everything was seamless and beautifully curated. It was amazing to have an entire day where I didn’t have to make any logistical decisions or worry about food, transportation, etc. Edwin and his father led me through their deep cultural and historical weaving process as well as spent a lot of time educating me on their community. The way they curated everything made me feel comfortable and at ease. Sometimes I get really frustrated with big crowds and a lot of tourism so if you’re looking for an experience of a lifetime and want to get off the beaten path, I can not recommend this enough!!

Svar från värd, juli 2022

Hello Ashley, Thank you for your honest and nice words, my familly and i are really happy to know you enjoyed the traditional textile weaving experience in the sacred valley. We will keep working hard to provide great experiences and hope to see you soon for chicha or guinea pig experience. Best of lucks Edwin

We cannot recommend this...

Lucy_F, juni 2022

We cannot recommend this experience highly enough. By far the best thing we did of our 3 weeks in Peru!! We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the location, Greeted with beautiful flower petals. Edwin (whose family are all master weavers) translated the entire day. We were guided through each step in an interactive and engaging way from spinning the yarn, to going out to pick the natural ingredients for dyeing the wool, the dyeing process, setting up the loom to the actual physical weaving. It was a fantastic day and we both came away with a new appreciation for the art. In between parts we were presented with a delicious lunch. The ladies who taught us were patient and lovely. We came away with bracelets we (with some help) had woven and wool we had naturally dyed. If you can, I would 1000% recommend to book this experience - you really won't regret it.

Svar från värd, juli 2022

good evening dear Lucy, Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a honor for us to share hour house and traditions with you. hope to see you next time for more once in a lifetime experiences

Incredible Experience not to be missed!

Alison_G, sep. 2021

Wow, this was an incredibly special day and I am so grateful to Edwin & Ruth for sharing their home and culture with me! I loved every aspect of this from the warm welcome I received to walking in the forest and collecting leaves, the natural dyeing of the wool and finally learning how to use a back strap loom. I also was enamoured with the delicious food they prepared - pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, avocado, yucca - all from the yard! I can't recommend this highly enough, especially if you have an interest in textiles, this will be a day you will never forget!

Svar från värd, sep. 2021

Hello dear Alison, Thank you so much for your kind words, We are really happy to know you enjoyed your experience with us in the sacred valley, we hope to see your friends here in the textile workshop soon. Best of wishes Edwin & Ruth

Best Cultural Experience

Carley_C, juni 2021

Absolute must do excursion if you want to experience traditional Peruvian culture! This tour is run by a local family with generations of experience weaving textiles. They made us feel so welcome and shared their home and culture with us. The weaving process does take place on the floor, so be prepared to sit for a few hours. The artisans showed us how to weave a bracelet and then took it home. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the native culture for a day.

Svar från värd, juli 2021

Hi Carley thank you for your kind words, we are very happy to know you loved this incredible experience, for us it was a honor to have you girl as our 1st visitors after the lock down. we really hope to see you soon. Best regrads
