During the APEC Summit meeting the beauty of Peru was put on display. Its people, customs and tourist attractions were seen by the entire world.
In order to commemorate this important event a special souvenir was designed to be given to those who visited our country.
That is why PromPerú, in association with the female weavers of Huancavelica made 7000 colorful key chains made of wool.
The key chains were in the shape of miniature “Chullos” and were all made in Huancavelica.
The “Chullo”, is a hat which droops at the sides to offer protection from the cold. It is typically used in Andean regions and has different colors and patterns depending on the province.
