CHIQUITOS: COLOUR, MUSIC and LIFE of the JUNGLE

Journey through time on a magical visit to lands where baroque music and the art of woodcarving are expressed in works of singular beauty. The Jesuit Missions, built by indigenous craftsmen several centuries ago, survive the ages as witnesses to this region’s cultural wealth.


SAJAMA WEAVINGS and SPINNING of ALPACA and LLAMA WOOL

Share, enjoy and learn the delicate art of transforming camelid wool; shearing, selection, spinning, processing and weaving alpaca and llama wool. An approach to Aymara culture and its many traditions.

TARABUCO WEAVINGS and QUECHUA CULTURE

This small town is found in the community of Tarabuco, an area near Sucre. Its crafts and market give it a special range of colours. Over the years, this community has recuperated the knowledge left by its ancestors in the art of iconography through textiles. This is an exceptional place in which to learn about a special culture and acquire unique craftworks.

HIGHLAND CERAMICS and CARVINGS

Monumental works from a pre-Inca culture. Tiwanaku is the seat of inspiration for replicas in clay and stone. Feel, observe and learn from Aymara indigenous artists who are proud to show and express their culture through their own hands.

ART and COLOUR in RURRENABAQUE

In Rurrenabaque it will be possible for us to get to know the culture of the Amazonian inhabitants and indigenous populations who migrated from other Bolivian spaces and cultures. Social Ecological Tourism (TES, as the programme is known) shows the artistic wealth of this Amazonian area as expressed in its products and works; you will be able to participate as part of the process, or simply as a spectator.

TACANAS AMAZONIAN CULTURE in the MADIDI

The Madidi Park constitutes one of the most important reserves for biodiversity on the planet. There you will find the Tacana ethnic group, with its ample knowledge of the transformation of seeds, palms and wood, all of which it transforms into artworks of singular beauty. The visitor can also learn, observe or buy handicrafts. This is developed through the restoration of ancestral production methods.
