Location:
Jujuy, Argentina

The Andean region includes the Quebrada de Humahuaca,
the Calchaquíes Valleys and the Salto-Jujeña Puna, with deep valleys and plateaus of up to 4000 m and peaks that reach 7000 m.
Different peoples who are heirs of the ancient Andean tradition of pre-Hispanic shepherds and farmers live there, and although many of their techniques have been lost or transformed, pastoralism continues to be a viable and suitable form of production for certain arid and semi-arid regions, such as the highlands of the Andes.

Within this Andean region DCC collaborates with three different groups:
Red Puna Community, Daughters of the Moon and Sami Group: More than 120 artisan weavers from the Quebrada and Puna in Jujuy of the Popular Economy, organized with the objective of producing and marketing our crafts at a fair and supportive price.
