A Private Weaving Experience with Ruth Pimentel
Peru's Only UNESCO-Awarded Indigenous Master Weaver

Begin at our private atelier nestled in the hills near Cusco, where Ruth Pimentel — celebrated guardian of Peru's living textile heritage — welcomes you personally.
Over a warm introduction, your host will share Ruth's remarkable lineage, her UNESCO recognition, and the centuries-old Andean traditions her work preserves through our social-impact initiative.
Then, the loom is yours.

Guided by Ruth and other master weavers from Parobamba, you'll select seasonal botanicals, hand-dye premium baby-alpaca yarn using ancestral techniques, and learn the meditative art of backstrap weaving — the same method passed down through generations of Andean women.

Your bespoke creation is finished on-site, presented in elegant packaging with a signed provenance card — a one-of-a-kind piece to carry home.
