Indigenous Tribe Bag-Making Workshop

Participate in our bag-making workshop, where you will immerse yourself in the traditional craftsmanship of an indigenous community nestled in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. This experience provides insight into their lifestyle and cultural practices, making it a truly unique opportunity.

Activity Overview

We will commence the journey from your hotel at the specified time, embarking on a scenic trip into the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Here, an indigenous community awaits to share their world with us amidst breathtaking natural surroundings.

Following a scenic 30-minute trek through lush trails, we will reach the village. Prepare to be enthralled by the tribe's traditional garments and their vibrant way of life, rich in symbolism. Engage with the community members to uncover their ancestral practices and longstanding traditions; amongst these is the artistry involved in crafting their woolen bags.

Your hosts will guide you through the intricate process of creating these unique bags. The art of bag-making is a labor-intensive endeavor, rich with cultural significance and philosophy. After this interactive workshop, we will explore the surrounding environment, passing by avocado, mango, yucca, and banana plantations.

At lunchtime, savor a delicious meal prepared by the community members. Following the meal, you'll have the chance to meet the animals that call this place home, including pigs, chickens, dogs, and owls. To conclude this enriching experience, we will visit a sacred well, where you can unwind with a refreshing dip in the serene waters.

We will then return to the starting point, bringing an end to our enriching 8-hour journey with heartfelt farewells.
