Artesanías Manos de Oro brings together the works of Cauca's best artisans under one roof. Browse through the two pleasant showrooms, journeying from village to village, and admire the crafts each is renowned for. Woolen ruanas (ponchos), silk and cotton shawls, items of hand-made paper and ceramic miniatures of homes and churches. Fine wood bowls hold wooden fruit. Baskets of iraca, a tree fiber, hold dried flowers. If you haven't time to get to the pueblos, you still can take home a bit of artistry made by golden hands.
