Sacred Valley of the Incas

Willoc & Patacancha


SACRED VALLEY, CUSCO - WILLOC & PATACANCHA: Land of weavers

In Willoc and Patacancha, women weave –literally- nonstop. Ever since they got organized to produce high-quality textiles and show visitors the whole process of their wonderful work, both weavers and costumers value these pieces much more. The farmers from Willoc are referred to as Huayruros (the one-of-a-kind seed suggesting balance and duality) due to their clothes of intense red.
