The Casa Ecologica’s textiles offers demonstrate the rich art that many high Andean communities in the Cusco area and its surroundings possess.  They are always made using natural fibers and dyes, taking into account the sustainability of the materials available, including wool and dyeing plants.  In the following section we present photos and prices of the various textiles that we offer, as well as a brief description of each one’s use.

If you would like, you may order textiles from our website.
