The city of Cusco carries inside its streets a millenarian tradition that originates in the Inka ritual honoring nature, transforming with the passing of time in little ceramic little bulls and horses that inhabit in couples on the roofs of the city in a sample of our living Andean culture. A group of artists and artisans got together honoring this ancient cult, and invite us through the development of collective artistic creation.

ART TRAIL CUSCO

It is a collective creation that offers an experience told through the hands of the Cusquenian artists and artisans honoring the history of the cult for nature in the ancient cultures. It is hidden behind the little bulls and horses of Pucara placed on the roofs of the city. Art Trail is based on the two workshops realized by the renowned artisan awarded by UNESCO, Julio Gutierrez Samanez and the collective of contemporary artists, Totemiq. Both workshops are based on revaluing and rescuing the traditional techniques of artistic production and the encounter between traditional and contemporary Cusquenian art. At the end, participants will take home 2 unique pieces of great artistic value.
