Handicrafts Route

The handicrafts of Catamarca are a fundamental part of the province's cultural identity and an invitation to explore the region through its crafts and traditions. Integrated into the tourism experience, they allow for direct access to the knowledge of the artisans, who share their expertise in workshops, fairs, and visits to their workshops.
Weaving on a loom is one of the most representative expressions, with the Catamarca Poncho as a symbol of the province. In various locations throughout the region, it is possible to learn about the process of creating these pieces, from spinning the wool to weaving on family looms.

Ceramics and basketry are also part of the tourism offerings, with tours that allow visitors to meet the potters and artisans who work with ancestral techniques. At local fairs and markets, visitors can purchase unique pieces and participate in experiences where tradition is shared directly.

Tourism linked to handicrafts not only highlights the cultural heritage of Catamarca but also promotes the development of the communities that keep this knowledge alive.
