Person making adobe bricks outdoors

Cuyo Chico Community

Cusco, Peru

About this place

In this village, a group of families runs a workshop making ceramics and adobe bricks. They use clay from the area to mold plates, bowls, and decorations by hand. You can watch them work and learn how they make the bricks used for houses across the Sacred Valley. From the workshop, you also get a great view of the Pisac Ruins.

After the demonstration, there is a shop where you can buy pieces directly from the artisans. It’s an easy way to see how local pottery is actually made.
