Begin your journey in the heart of the city, at Plaza San Sebastián, and head to Narihualac, one of the most important archaeological sites in northern Peru. Visit the museum and connect with the legacy of a millenary civilization that once thrived in this region.
Next, participate in a traditional straw hat weaving session, guided by a local artisan whose techniques have been passed down for generations and are now recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Nation.
Continue to Catacaos, a town known for its vibrant artisan culture and spiritual traditions. Explore its historic center and artisan markets, with time to wander and discover on your own.
Midway through the experience, enjoy the flavors of Piuran cuisine — a blend of coastal and ancestral influences that features ingredients like green plantain, native chilies, yuca, and fresh seafood. While meals are not included, you’ll receive suggestions and time to choose a local spot that suits your taste and explore at your own pace.
Conclude your experience with a silver filigree workshop, where you’ll observe how fine silver threads are delicately transformed into intricate handmade jewelry — a craft unique to Catacaos.
