This region has a rich history of trade and commerce that dates back to the time of the Incas
In the Quechua language, these groups were known as "Mindaláles", which roughly translates to "traders who go to the markets". The Mindaláles were organized into groups and had specific routes and territories that they would travel to for trading.
These indigenous traders played a crucial role in the economy and cultural exchange of the region, as they not only exchanged goods but also shared their knowledge, traditions, and customs with other communities.
Today, the tradition of Andean trade and commerce lives on through the Andean artcrafts industry. Many indigenous communities continue to create and sell their handmade products, using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations.
By supporting the Andean artcrafts industry, we are not only celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the region but also helping to preserve and promote the traditional practices of these communities. It is a way to honor their history and contribute to their sustainable economic development.
