Enjoy the warm Peruvian sun and explore your creative flair, learning the enchanting art of encaustic. This ancient medium, using molten beeswax, is a perfect partner to Peru’s historic Incan Empire, stunning landscape, arts, and local colour. We will hand-alter photographs taken on our cultural explorations of Macchu Piccu, local galleries, architectural wonders, and Peruvian gastronomic and fine arts, learning how to pour, carve, and colour sweet-smelling beeswax to create mixed media photographic paintings.
Arriving in Lima, you will be met by our private driver and guide and transferred to our hotel for an overnight (most international flights from USA/Canada arrive in the evening, but if your flight arrives early a representative will meet you for the transfer to the hotel).
