Desert Expedition Workshops

While staying in San Carlos, you will have the opportunity to work with a professional artisan from the area. The different workshops offered are:

1. Andean music with Daniel D'Amico, a luthier and muscian. He will introduce traditional instruments of the north such as the charango, the quena, or the cicus, and then participants will compose and recite regional music!

2. Functional ceramic making from local clay. Those interested in making bowls, cups, and other useful items out of clay will enjoy working with the incredibly talented Eduardo Mendoza.

3. Wool dyeing and weaving using natural dyes and incorporating items found around you is a skill you can practice just about anywhere. Olga will give you a great beginners course.

4. Basket weaving is more difficult than it looks, but with the help of Raquel, participants will leave with beautiful pieces made from local plant fibers.

5. Andes means 'copper'. Exploring the incredible versatility of this metal with José is an unforgettable experience.

Due to limited space and materials, workshops are limited to 7 participants each. It is likely that some will not receive their first choices, so please indicate first and second choices from the International Expeditions page (Desert, Cloud Forest, Expedition training, or 16 Day Combo).
