Art & Design in Peru
Dates: 2026
Step into the creative soul of Peru on a journey where contemporary art, timeless craftsmanship, and intentional design come together. From Lima’s vibrant coastal neighborhoods to the magnetic beauty of the Andes, this experience goes beyond traditional travel, inviting you into the studios, homes, and inner worlds of some of the country’s most captivating artists and cultural visionaries.
In Lima, you’ll enjoy private studio visits in Barranco and Miraflores, explore cutting-edge contemporary art museums like MATE and MAC, and take part in an abstract painting session guided by a local artist. Then, in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, tradition meets innovation: discover artist-led textile collectives, learn about plant-based dyeing techniques, and wander through colonial-era casonas reimagined as experimental art spaces.
This journey is designed for those who find inspiration in texture, color, and meaningful connection. Every encounter invites reflection and creative exchange—perfect for artists, collectors, designers, or anyone who sees beauty as a lens for understanding the world. In Peru, art isn’t just observed—it’s lived, felt, and experienced with all the senses.
