Sustainable Innovation and Cultural Preservation: Partner with Us to Illuminate the Future!
We invite you to be a pivotal part of an inspiring initiative that merges ancient wisdom with modern technology to foster sustainability and cultural preservation. Cristian and his family have embarked on a transformative project, constructing a traditional Huari shack at 3,900 meters above sea level—an unparalleled setting for integrating clean energy solutions with cultural education.
Housing
In 2023 Cristian and his family were able to construct a traditional Huari shack in thir territory. The shack is 3,900 meters above sea level, a magical place to learn about Huari ways of being.
Ancestral food
Papas, potatos, are a huge part of his culture, aloshide with corn and llamas. The offerings Cristian brings involve educating on traditional Huari and Inca kitchen methods and flavours, teaching from beverages (such as chicha making) to ancestral cooking such as pachamankas.

Technology
The goal for the recently built shack is to install solar panels into the house system. The vision is to have clean energy running up in the mountains, so Cristian and his family are currently searching for partners to make this desire come true.

Environment
Cristian envisions this shack to be an education center about the life of its territory. What he is building is a place to educate about folk herbalism, and engage with locals and visitors in a way that integrates Indigenous medicine and promotes reforestation of places under some type of mining, monoculture or land exploitation.

The Vision
The Huari shack exists as a center of ecological and cultural harmony, designed to operate on solar energy, a commitment that aligns with our mission to reduce carbon footprints and promote renewable resources in remote high-altitude regions. This initiative not only seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of solar power in mountainous terrains but also aims to become a model for sustainable living in indigenous communities.
Environmental Stewardship
We are dedicated to revitalizing ecosystems impacted by mining, monoculture, and land exploitation. Our reforestation efforts will restore native flora and support biodiversity, ensuring that the natural environment thrives alongside our educational endeavors.
Offerings
Our center will provide a unique platform to explore and learn about the rich culinary heritage of the Huari and Inca civilizations. Through interactive workshops and demonstrations, we will teach traditional methods of food preparation, including:
-
Chicha Production: Master the art of brewing this ancient fermented beverage, central to Andean culture.
-
Pachamanka Cooking: Discover the traditional method of preparing meals using an earth oven, embodying the spirit of communal eating and respect for Pachamama (Mother Earth).
Additionally, we will offer in-depth educational programs on folk herbalism, integrating indigenous medicinal practices with contemporary knowledge to promote holistic well-being.
Call to Action
We seek visionary partners who are passionate about advancing sustainable technology and preserving cultural heritage. Your support will enable us to:
-
Install and optimize solar panels to power our educational center, ensuring a clean energy footprint.
-
Develop and implement programs that educate locals and visitors about traditional knowledge and modern sustainability practices. -
