El arte textil del Cusco: manos que preservan la herencia inca

En los Andes, tejer es memoria. Cada hebra resume historia, paisaje y cosmovisión. En los pueblos del Cusco, el arte textil sigue vivo gracias a familias que dominan técnicas ancestrales y comparten su saber con nuevas generaciones.

Materia prima con identidad

Alpaca y llama. Fibras finas, cálidas y duraderas, seleccionadas por micraje.
Oveja. Aporta cuerpo y textura a ponchos y mantas de uso diario.
Algodón nativo. Presente en piezas de clima templado y bordados.

Colores que nacen de la tierra

Tintes naturales. Cochinilla para rojos intensos, molle y nogal para marrones, q’olle y chilca para amarillos, añil para azules.
Fijadores tradicionales. Ceniza, sal y alumbre aseguran estabilidad del color.

Técnica: del telar de cintura a la obra final

Urdido y diseño. Se define el dibujo desde el inicio.
Telar de cintura. Portátil y versátil; permite tensión precisa y diseños complejos.
Remate. Flecos, trenzas y bordes refuerzan y decoran.

Simbología andina en los tejidos

Pallay. Motivos que representan montañas, ríos, estrellas y fauna andina.
Dualidad y equilibrio. Combinaciones de colores y formas reflejan complementariedad en la cosmovisión andina.

Dónde apreciar y aprender

Talleres y centros comunitarios en el Valle Sagrado con demostraciones guiadas.
Mercados artesanales de Pisac y Chinchero para ver el proceso de cerca.
Exhibiciones en museos de Cusco con piezas históricas y contemporáneas.

Los tejidos del Cusco son cultura en movimiento. Al visitar la región, busca experiencias que valoren el proceso, el tiempo y la autoría. Tras cada jornada, Casa del Sol Machu Picchu Boutique Hotel ofrece el descanso ideal para continuar explorando el legado textil andino.

Excellent

We stayed one night there and really the service has been exceptional. I have nothing but good words for the establishment. We stayed in a suite which was excellent! It had a jacuzzi. Breakfast very good. The staff is always attentive. And the restaurant is a luxury. We took the 4-step menu and it has been spectacular. I would definitely go back and recommend it.

Unforgettable

I went to Machupicchu with family and stayed at the Casa Del Sol hotel again. The hotel is just beautiful. There have been renovations since I was last there, the dining room is beautiful and crisp! An absolute delight to dine in. But the best part of the hotel is the people. The staff really goes above and beyond to make sure we have every need attended to! The staff welcomed us back like old friends, and even helped us celebrate my mother's birthday with a bottle of wine! We stayed for 2 nights, but we could have stayed longer just to enjoy the rooms and the spa.

Beautiful Hotel in Aguascalientes

I loved staying at the hotel so much! As soon as we got off our bus we were greeted by very friendly staff and walked less than 100 meters to the hotel. Their food is amazing and staying in this hotel is so relaxing, especially after a day spent in Machu Picchu. Every single one of the staff is so friendly and makes sure you are as comfortable and happy as you can be. I especially loved how the hotel was just next to the river and the beautiful rooms they provided. I hope I can go back someday!
