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.
