Chivay, a small village about 160km from Arequipa, is an absolute delight.

When I first went to Peru, like many, I mainly associated this country with typical touristic sites such as Machu Picchu and the ever present llamas and colourful wool jumpers. When I arrived, I was not particularly surprised by the cloud of tourists wandering around colourful towns. While living there though, I began to divert from popular touristic spots and started discovering a different side of this intriguing culture. That is when I came across another Peruvian tradition which has increasingly been making a trend internationally - Peruvian jewellery craftsmanship. Peruvian artisans and their stunning, eye-delighting creations are increasingly being recognised and appreciated by adornment lovers from the region as well as others across the globe, helping Peru to flourish and leave a growing impact on international fashion tendencies.
