Private The Craftsman Trail Tour

On this 8-hour tour, you will visit the towns of Gualaceo and Chordeleg which are located just 45 minutes East of Cuenca. In these traditional settlements set in beautiful Andean landscapes, we will meet families who are still making textiles the way the "Cañaris" (the pre-Inca inhabitants) did more than 500 years ago. We will also visit the workshops of a traditional jewellery maker, a guitar maker that forms part of the ‘Guitar Trail’, and a ‘Chola Cuencana’ who still makes her straw hats in the traditional manner. Along the way, we will have the opportunity to visit an orchid farm that houses more than 2,000 species of orchids, one of the best in the world, as well as visit shoemakers, jewellers and food and fruit market, etc.
