Durante siglos, Uzbekistán ha sido el punto de encuentro de culturas, caravanas y artesanía a lo largo de la Ruta de la Seda. Desde los vibrantes bazares de Tashkent hasta los talleres artesanos del valle de Fergana, este viaje revela las tradiciones vivas del país.
Conoceremos a maestros alfareros en Rishtan, veremos tejer la seda en Margilan y compartiremos comidas caseras con los aldeanos de las montañas Nuratau. Por el camino, exploraremos también las deslumbrantes ciudades caravaneras de Samarcanda y Bujará, donde las cúpulas azules y los minaretes aún recuerdan la época dorada de la Ruta de la Seda.
Éste es el Uzbekistán más auténtico: una mezcla de monumentos emblemáticos y encuentros inolvidables con la población local.
