Awana Kancha and San Blas Tour from Cusco

Spend a morning discovering a little Peruvian culture on a half-day tour from Cusco to the Awana Kancha textile center and the quaint, historic district of San Blas. Instead of a pressured shopping trip, this tour provides a window into the culture and craftsmanship of weaving at Awana Kancha, which translates directly to 'Palace of Weaving' -- an accurate name for this textile capital. After seeing how the furs from alpacas and llamas, and their relatives, vicuñas and guanacos, are made into textiles, head to San Blas to wander the streets of this historic neighborhood and tour Cusco's oldest parish church.
