Pisac Potato Park

Run by six Quechua communities, the Pisac Potato Park is a significant agricultural and social justice project situated on the high-altitude slopes of the Andes in Cusco, Peru. This initiative aims to preserve the ancient varietals and farming techniques of the Inca, with farmers cultivating over 1,400 types of potatoes using traditional methods free from chemicals. Visitors can explore the terraced fields and learn about the rich cultural heritage and sustainable practices that have been passed down through generations, offering a unique insight into the region’s agricultural history and ongoing efforts to maintain biodiversity.
