Cusco: the ecological capital of the ancient world

Before becoming a global tourist destination, Cusco was the ecological heart of the Andean world. The Incas understood that true prosperity stemmed from the balance between humankind and nature, a vision that still resonates in our mountains.

The ecological vision of the Inca Empire

Their agricultural, hydraulic, and urban engineering revealed a profound understanding of ecosystems and natural cycles. The systems of terraces, water channels, and tambos—rest and storage centers—demonstrated that collective well-being depends on respect for the land.

Inspired by that wisdom, at Eco Tampu we take up those principles in everyday life: efficient use of resources, harmony with Pachamama and design in tune with the environment.

Cusco was the navel of the world and also the first ecological capital of the planet. Today, reconnecting with that ancestral consciousness represents a path towards a sustainable and humane future.
