Wari Urpi is dedicated to preserving its native culture, which differs from that of other pre-Columbian cultures in Peru, taking advantage of the extraordinary skills of its craftsmen. The artisans belong to the Wari culture that flourished between 800 and 1 100 BC. They are weavers and embroiderers of traditional textiles made by hand with the art and skills inherited through the epochs of cultures that date back about 2,700 years.
