This is a powerful example of how #communitytourism creates meaningful connections and generates income to protect both biodiversity and culture.
Travellers visit the park to learn about traditional Andean agriculture, seed conservation (in partnership with the Svalbard Global Seed Vault), and Indigenous weaving practices, while directly supporting the local economy.
Located in the stunning Sacred Valley of Peru, Parque de la Papa is made up of five Quechua communities working together to preserve over 1,300 varieties of native potatoes, along with the ancient knowledge and traditions that sustain them.
Did you know today is the International Day of Potato? 🥔 Let’s celebrate one of the world’s most important crops by highlighting the incredible work of our partners at Parque de la Papa (Potato Park).
🌱 Our partnership with @planeterra.bsky.social is growing! After 175,000 organic fruit trees, we're planting 250,000 more & investing in 3 vital community nurseries in Akrich, Tadmamt, & Aknoul. The new Aknoul Nursery with #ANEF will cultivate 100,000 olive saplings!
