Overview

Visit a Shipibo-Konibo community, discover the sacred kené designs and create your own piece with local artisans.

Travel by boat across Yarinacocha to a Shipibo-Konibo community, one of the great Amazonian nations. Women artisans will welcome you and share the meaning of kené — the geometric designs recognised as Cultural Heritage of Peru — painted on ceramics and embroidered on textiles. Join a hands-on workshop, learn about traditional plants and daily life, and buy crafts directly from the families. Tourism here is community-led and part of every ticket goes directly to the community.
