Awamaki creates authentic tourism experiences that connect visitors to the Sacred Valley and the artisans in its Quechua communities. We offer village visits to meet our artisans, weaving lessons, language classes, s and fair trade shopping, all of which benefit Andean women entrepreneurs. As a non-profit, we provide rural women with economic opportunities and skills training so they can earn a living and provide for their families. Our artisans produce contemporary home, gift and accessory items using traditional Andean techniques and organic plant dyes. They welcome visitors to see their communities, learn about their craft, and support their businesses. Awamaki has been widely recognized for our leadership in sustainable cultural tourism. We have been awarded the World Travel and Tourism Council's Tourism for Tomorrow Award for Social Impact, and the TO DO Award for Sustainable Tourism. We were also a finalist in the National Geographic World Legacy Awards.
