Tradition and History | DEL NORTE SS25
Located in the northern coast of Peru, Las Capullanas mesmerizing rock formations stand where history and nature intertwine, an ancient land of matriarchs, sculpted by wind and sea. The Capullanas were powerful matriarchs of ancient Peru who ruled with wisdom and strength, shaping the social and economic life of their communities. Known for their independence and leadership, they navigated both land and sea, commanding respect in a world shaped by tradition.
Their influence extended beyond governance, reaching into commerce and diplomacy. Skilled in negotiation and trade, the Capullanas established vital connections along the coast, exchanging goods and knowledge with neighboring cultures. They adorned themselves with elaborate textiles and gold, symbols of their status and autonomy, defying the norms of a male-dominated world.
Though centuries have passed, their legacy endures in the land and the stories that remain. The name “Capullanas” still evokes strength, a reminder of the women who defied convention and charted their own course. In the whispers of the wind against the cliffs, one can still sense their presence—watching, guiding, and standing firm against the tides of time.
