What you can expect

  • Immerse yourself in one of the region's most iconic craft traditions and discover the art of traditional vine weaving with a local artisan.

    The experience begins with pickup from your accommodation in downtown Barichara. From there, you will travel to a nearby hamlet by jeep or tuk-tuk, where you will meet an artisan who has spent years preserving this craft handed down from generation to generation.

    During the activity, you'll learn about the origin of the vine, its characteristics, the process of selecting materials, and the cultural importance of basketry in rural life in Santander. The artisan will share the history of this traditional knowledge and give a step-by-step explanation of the techniques used to make the baskets.

    You will then actively take part in the weaving process, learning how to handle the material and make your own piece under the artisan's guidance. No previous experience is required, as the activity is designed for beginners and people interested in learning about an authentic tradition of the region.

    At the end, you can take home the basket you made during the workshop as a souvenir of this cultural experience. After the session, we'll head back to Barichara.

    This private experience combines learning, tradition, and direct contact with the local culture, allowing you to get an up-close look at a craft that is still alive thanks to the work of artisans in the region.
