The Altiplano  products are handcrafted in the highlands (Altiplano) of Guatemala.  Based on the beautiful shores of Lake Atitlan, beneath the towering volcanoes, Altiplano has been providing fair wage and employment for over 20 years. Working with many of the same artisans since its inception, the quality and design of Altiplano products reflect years of experience.  Altiplano provides employment opportunities to cooperative groups, small family businesses and to women in their own fairtrade workshop.  In an effort to support traditional life, Altiplano offers women the opportunity to work at home, making them available for their children and other domestic duties, while earning financial independence.
