JWPC+Q3P - We seek to show during your tour the activities carried out by the Andean people, especially those of the rural community of Racchi Ayllu, for example, the alpaca cattle and their differences are shown, as well as the guinea pigs and their breeding process.
In addition, it seeks to revalue the ancestral textile legacy through fabrics worked by hand with the fiber of alpaca, sheep and vicuña; taking into account that these products are made by women who live in inequality of opportunities and domestic problems. For this reason, through We want to empower them, that they achieve economic independence, that they live knowing and respecting their rights as women, and above all that they do not forget their ancestral textile legacy, but that it lasts and can be taught to new generations.
During that time, you will be part of the experience of the textile manufacturing process, such as weaving waist bracelets starting with basic designs and different colors; and alpaca or sheep fiber fabrics will also be dyed with elements of nature with which three colors will be formed.
