Just its location—in the Sacred Valley of the Incas—makes Urubamba sound like a mystical, magical place. The snow covered Ch'iqun mountain stands proudly in the background of this Peruvian town that serves as a base for people who want to visit the famous ancient Incan ruins of Machu Picchu. Zip lines and horseback rides let you experience this valley in the Andes in wildly different ways.

Since 1979, the CERAMICAS SEMINARIO workshop has been dedicated to the research and application of techniques and designs from the ancient cultures of Peru. Pablo Seminario and Marilu Behar have created a new artistic expression that gives continuity to our cultural heritage. In 1982, they opened their workshop in the Sacred Valley of the Incas where they train local artisans that make each piece entirely by hand. The trajectory and work of Pablo and Marilu is internationally recognized, and their pieces have been acquired by well-known museums. CERAMICAS SEMINARIO invites you to visit its workshop-gallery where you can take a tour to discover the Inca and Pre-Inca techniques that we utilize to create the Pablo Seminario style of ceramics. We are located in the city of Urubamba, Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco, Peru. We also offer the possibility to be part of the workshop experience in a pre-booked ceramics class.

What a delightful place! The family history and the fact that the family still owns and operates this place makes it even more special. They make beautiful pottery and art pieces, teach others how to, and have a showroom full of amazing pieces for sale. Do yourself a favour and visit!

An awesome little brewery with the best hospitality. Dario was super friendly, very informative, and opened up his home/brewery for our group. Amazing artisanal beers and lots of friendly conversation. Will definitely be back when we visit Peru again ???? Muchas Gracias Dario! -James

We are a craft brewery located in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Come visit our tasting room located along the Urubamba River for fresh brews and brewery tours. We are open to the public Wednesday-Sunday from 2-7pm. From Cusco you can take private or public transport directly to Paradero Puente Pachar; we'll be on on the corner located next to a small chapel.

The craft scene globally produces a lot of underwhelming brews - not so here! A short bus ride from town, the brewery’s charming taproom and sunny garden is well worth a visit. A large and varied selection of ales, some traditional, some incorporating flavours from the valley and wider Peru, brewed with care, skill and imagination. We stopped in for a pint as reward after a few days’ hiking and stayed all day. Our host Victor was as knowledgeable as he was enthusiastic about his craft and it was a pleasure to sit and chat. With simple and very tasty food and a soundtrack of Latin American ska as accompaniment, a visit here is an excellent use of anybody’s time. Victor has a history in wine, working at the Nanni vineyard in Argentina and after meeting him, we’ll be sure to stop in there too. The beer’s keenly priced as well!
