Livichuco

The first thing that strikes and fascinates visitors when arriving at Livichuco are the characteristic garments of the local inhabitants, which reflect a precise identity and their daily routine based on the flow of the seasons, farming and livestock breeding of cattle and camelids.

The community, in fact, is famous for the local production of textiles and garments. The artisans say that the techniques they use, inherited from their ancestors, are handed down with passion from one generation to the next: the children learn the craft from their parents after school. The women explain that an excellent memory is needed to make the fabrics, since each thread follows a complex pattern reproduced only in the weaver's mind.

Today, alongside these ancestral crafts, the community members have also taken up tourism and hospitality, with the opening in Livichuco of a shelter for travellers, as a means for supplementing their income and expanding the development and progress of the community one of the pillars of which has always been its spirit of struggle and resilience.
