In Greenland, the biggest traditions are celebrated at home, with a focus on being together. Today, along with a local guide, you can experience them too. Do you accept?
An Inuit family awaits you, with a “kaffemik”, the traditional table laden with sweet treats and hot coffee that is typically used to celebrate the most special moments in life, from the first day of school to birthdays, anniversaries and births.
Here, sharing is the buzzword. So it's no coincidence that your host will reveal everything about their life, from the national culture to personal stories, taking in the paintings hanging on the walls and the super-colorful traditional Greenlandic costumes, teeming with geometric patterns and hand-beaded details.
While you taste some delicious home-made biscuits, cakes and breads, the anecdotes and secrets that come to the fore will help you to understand just how much close bonds are an essential part of life here, in these far-flung corners of the earth. After all, “Inuit” literally means “humanity”.
