Cost Includes:

• In-Country Transportation: We cover all in-country transportation within the scheduled trip dates, as soon as you arrive at the airport until you depart.
  *Airport transfers are only included if you are arriving within the workshop dates. If you choose to spend extra days in Peru, you will be responsible for transportation to and from the airport, and any expenses outside of our trip together.

• All Meals: This experience features locally-sourced ingredients and Peruvian flavors. Peru is world-famous for its food, and the Sacred Valley is a fertile land filled with organic produce and delicious flavors. We’re very conscious of food safety and only eat in safe, health-conscious restaurants. Some meals will be eaten with our partners in their communities, cooked with produce from the artisans’ farms using traditional cooking methods. Most meals will be eaten as a group, with plenty of options to try.

• Artisan-Led Workshops: All-levels natural dyes and backstrap weaving workshops, including payment to artisan instructors and all materials necessary for the classes.

• Additional Unique Experiences: We love the Sacred Valley and can’t wait to take you on some special activities that we have planned for the group including hikes, picnics, and visits to some local sites. All entrance fees are included.

• Accommodation: We will stay at an independent, design-minded, locally-owned boutique hotel in the Sacred Valley.

• Support: Guides & Translators to give support and explanations along the way. Most of our artisan partners do not speak English, and some only speak their Indigenous language, Quechua. We work with local trilingual guides to make sure that everyone can understand one another and share the experience. In addition, you’ll be accompanied by Thread Caravan and Aula Artesana founder Caitlin and Sonya who will be able to provide group support throughout the trip.

• Oxygen Tanks: Oxygen tanks in case of altitude sickness. The Sacred Valley is lower in elevation than Cusco city, but we’ll always travel with oxygen - just in case.

• Carbon Emissions Offset: We plant 50 trees on your behalf in order to offset the carbon emissions of your travel to Peru.
