The Art of the Vueltiao Hat and the Zenú Culture
Travel to Tuchín, Córdoba, to learn the art of arrow cane weaving from master artisans. It's not just about buying a hat; it's about understanding the cosmogony of the Zenú culture, embodied in the black and white geometric designs that are a Cultural Symbol of the Nation.
The Magic of Grass Varnish (Mopa-Mopa)
In southern Colombia (Pasto), you'll meet artisans who use the resin of a rainforest tree to decorate wooden objects. You'll see how they stretch the resin with their teeth and hands to create transparent sheets, which they then dye with vibrant colors. It's a technique found nowhere else on Earth.
