Colored photograph of a woman holding a large woven piece of fabric with fringe. Adobe style building behind her. Lots of yarn and organic materials on display around her.,

"My favorite thing about Peru is how close Peruvians hold traditional attire, rituals, and customs to their hearts. This photo is representative of that as it shows a traditionally dressed Incan woman creating a colorful Incan Chinchero (Textile). This skill requires a labor-intensive process of twining and dying the alpaca wool and can sometimes take months to complete. For this reason, watching this woman explain how Chincheros are created was truly a magical experience." - Alexandra Weaver
