Small group tours and experiences offer rare access to indigenous communities and centuries-old handcraft techniques.
Artisans are the keepers and protectors of cultural traditions, using techniques that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. We’ll visit their homes and workshops to watch them create extraordinary works of art while learning about their local practices and community life. Many are village leaders and distinguished award winners. All are revered for preserving their heritage.
