If you are a handicraft lover and visiting Santiago, a trip to Chile's art and craft hub Colchagua Valley is a must-do! The Colchagua Valley is the workshop of artisans who spend all their lives making sure every stitch in the cloth is perfect! At the foothills of the Andes, in Donihue Village you are thrown into a frenzy of colors. Vibrant hues intertwined in myriad patterns on textiles, blankets and clothing are on display for you to pick.
At the small community of Pelequen, pulsating in its pink ambiance, you will be intrigued by their products made of volcano turf.
Shift gears to wicker products, which are found in abundance at Chimbarongo. You can bag in a range of artifacts, utensils and other wicker products here. Amble further into the village of La Lajuela where an array of woven hats will captivate you!
